Luyện nghe bài hát The Biggest Ball Of Twine In Minnesota

Well, I had two of vacation time coming
working all year down at 'Big Roy's Heating And Plumbing'
So one night when my family and I gathered 'round the dinner table
I said, "Kids, if you could go anywhere in this big world now
you like to go ta?"

They said, "Dad, we wanna see the biggest ball of in Minnesota"
They picked the biggest ball of in Minnesota

So the very next day we up the car
With potato and pickled wieners
puzzles, Spider-Man comics
And mama's home made pie

Pulled out of the driveway and the
all waved good-bye and so began our three day journey

We picked up a guy holding a sign that said, "Twine or bust"
He smelled real bad and he said his name was
I put in a Whitman tape, my wife put on a brand new hair net
Kids in the back seat jumping up and down
Yelling, "Are we yet?"

And all of us joined together in one common thought
As we rolled down the long and winding in our '53 DeSoto

We're gonna see the biggest ball of in Minnesota
We're for the biggest ball of twine in Minnesota

Oh, we couldn't wait to get
So we drove straight through for three whole days and
Of course, we for more pickled wieners now and then

The scenery was just so pretty, boy I wish the kids seen it
But you see out of the side of the car
the windows are completely covered
With the decals from all the places we've already been

Like Elvis-O-Rama, the Tupperware
The Boll Weevil Monument and Cranberry
The Shuffleboard Of Fame, Poodle Dog Rock
And The Mecca of Albino

We've been to ghost towns, parks, wax museums
And the place you can drive through the middle of a tree
We've seen farms and tarantula ranches
But still one thing we gotta see

Well, we crossed the state line 6:39
And we saw the sign that said, "Twine exit, fifty miles"
Oh, the kids were so they started singing
"99 Bottles Of Beer On The Wall" for the twenty-seventh time day

So, we off the road at the last chance gas station
Got a few more pickled and a diet chocolate soda

On our way to see the biggest ball of in Minnesota
gonna see the biggest ball of twine in Minnesota

Finally, at 7:37 early evening
As the sun was setting in the sky
Out in the distance, on the
It appeared to me a vision before my unbelieving eyes

I the car and walked with awe-filled reverence
Toward that glorious, huge, majestic
I was so overwhelmed by its sheer immensity
I had to pop a beer

Yes, on these grounds, open ten to eight on weekdays
In a little shrine a makeshift pagoda

sits the biggest ball of twine in Minnesota
I tell you, the biggest ball of twine in Minnesota

Oh, what on earth would make a man decide to do kind of thing?
Oh, up twenty-one thousand, one hundred forty pounds of string

What was he trying to Who was he trying to impress?
Why did he build it? How did he do it? It's guess
Where did he get the twine? was goin' through his mind?
Did it just like a good idea at the time?

Well, we walked up beside it and I warned the
"Now, you better not it, those ropes are there for a reason"
I said, "Maybe if you're good, tie it to the back of our car
And we can take it home", but I was only

Then we went to the gift shop and in line
a souvenir miniature ball of twine
Some window decals and else they'd sell us
And I a couple postcards
"Greetings from the twine ball, wish you here"
Won't the folks back be jealous?

I gave our to Bernie and we stood by the ball
And we all 'round and said, "Cheese"
Then Bernie ran away my brand new Instamatic
But at we got our memories

So we all just stared at the ball for a
And my got moist but I said with a smile
"Kids, this here's America's all about"
Then I started feelin' gooey inside
And I on my knees and I cried and cried
And that's those security guards threw us out

You know, I bet if we unraveled that
It'd roll all the way to Fargo, North Dakota

'Cause it's the ball of twine in Minnesota
I'm talkin' 'bout the biggest of twine in Minnesota

Well, we stayed that night at the Ball Inn
In the morning we on our way home again
But we really didn't want to leave, that was perfectly

I said, "Folks, I can tell all sad to go"
I winked my eye and I said
"You know, I got a funny of feelin'
We'll be comin' again next year"

'Cause I've been all around this big world
And I can't of anywhere else I'd rather go ta

Than the ball of twine in Minnesota
I the biggest ball of twine in Minnesota

Minnesota, Minnesota,
