Luyện nghe bài hát The Biggest Ball Of Twine In Minnesota

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

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

So the very day we loaded up the car
With potato skins and pickled
Crossword puzzles, comics
And mama's home rhubarb pie

out of the driveway and the neighbors
They all waved and so began our three day journey

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

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

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

Oh, we couldn't to get there
So we drove straight through for three whole and nights
Of course, we stopped for pickled wieners now and then

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

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

been to ghost towns, theme parks, wax museums
And the place where you can drive through the middle of a
We've seen alligator farms and tarantula
But there's still one we gotta see

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

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

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

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

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

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

There sits the biggest of twine in Minnesota
I tell you, it's the biggest ball of twine in

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

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

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

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

I gave our camera to 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 for a while
And my got moist but I said with a smile
"Kids, here's what America's all about"
Then I started feelin' kinda gooey
And I on my knees and I cried and cried
And that's when those guards threw us out

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

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

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

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'
be comin' back again next year"

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

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

Minnesota, Minnesota,
