Luyện nghe bài hát The Biggest Ball Of Twine In Minnesota

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

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

So the next day we loaded up the car
With potato skins and wieners
puzzles, Spider-Man comics
And home made rhubarb pie

Pulled out of the 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 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 were joined together in one thought
As we down the long and winding interstate in our '53 DeSoto

We're see the biggest ball of twine in Minnesota
We're headin' for the 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 the kids could've seen it
But you see out of the side of the car
Because the windows are completely
With the decals from all the places where we've already

Like Elvis-O-Rama, the Museum
The Boll Weevil Monument and World
The Shuffleboard Hall Of Fame, Poodle Dog
And The Mecca of Squirrels

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Oh, what on earth would a man decide to do that kind of thing?
Oh, windin' up thousand, one hundred forty pounds of string

What was he trying to prove? Who was he trying to
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 like a good idea at the

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

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

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

So we all stared at the ball for a while
And my eyes got moist but I said with a
"Kids, this what America's all about"
Then I started feelin' gooey inside
And I on my knees and I cried and cried
And that's when those security guards 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' the biggest ball of twine in Minnesota

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

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

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

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

Minnesota, Minnesota,
