Luyện nghe bài hát The Biggest Ball Of Twine In Minnesota

Well, I had two weeks of vacation time
After working all year at 'Big 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 anywhere in great big world now
Where'd you to go ta?"

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

So the very day we loaded up the car
With potato and pickled wieners
Crossword puzzles, comics
And home made rhubarb pie

out of the driveway and the neighbors
They all waved good-bye and so began our three day

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

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

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

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

The scenery was just so pretty, boy I wish the kids could've 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

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

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

Well, we crossed the state line 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 chance 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 biggest 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 before my 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 a beer

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

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

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

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

Well, we walked up beside it and I warned the
"Now, you better not touch it, those 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 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 a couple postcards
"Greetings from the twine ball, you were here"
Won't the folks back be jealous?

I gave our camera to Bernie and we stood by the
And we all gathered and said, "Cheese"
Bernie ran away with my brand new Instamatic
But at least we got our

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

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

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

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

I said, "Folks, I can you're all sad to go"
I winked my eye and I said
"You know, I got a kind of feelin'
We'll be comin' back next year"

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

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

Minnesota, Minnesota,
