And all of us were joined together in one common thought As we rolled down the long and winding interstate in our '53 DeSoto We're gonna see the biggest ball of twine in Minnesota We're headin' for the biggest ball of twine in Minnesota Oh, we couldn't wait to get there So we drove straight through for three whole days and nights Of course, we stopped for more pickled weiners now and then The scenery was just so pretty, boy I wish the kids could've seen it But you can't see out of the side of the car Because the windows are completely covered With the decals of all the place where we've already been There's Elvis-O-Rama, the Tupperware Museum, The Boll Weevil Monument, and Cranberry World, The Shuffleboard Hall Of Fame, Poodle Dog Rock, And The Mecca of Albino Squirrels We've been to ghost towns, theme parks, wax museums, And a place where you can drive through the middle of a tree We've seen alligator farms and tarantula ranches, But there's still one thing we gotta see Well, we crossed the state line about 6:39 And we saw a sign that said "Twine Ball exit - 50 miles" Oh, the kids were so happy the started singing "99 Bottles Of Beer On The Wall" for the 27th time that day So, we pulled off the road at the last chance gas station Got a few more pickled weiners and a diet chocolate soda On our way to see the biggest ball of twine in Minnesota We're gonna see the biggest ball of tiwne in Minnesota Finally, at 7:37 early Wednesday evening as the sun was setting in the Minnesota sky Out in the distance, on the horizon, it appeared to me like a vision before my unbelieving eye I parked the car and walked with awe-filled reverence towards that glorius huge majestic sphere I was just so overwhelmed by its sheer imensity, I had to pop myself a beer Yes, on these hallowed grounds, open ten to eight on weekdays, in a little shrine under a make-shift pagoda, There sits the biggest ball of twine in Minnesota I tell you, it's the biggest ball of twine in Minnesota Oh, what on earth would make a man decide to do that kind of thing? Oh, windin' up twenty-one thousand, one hundred forty pounds of string What was he trying to prove, who was he trying to impress Why did he build it, how did he do, it was anybody's guess Where did he get the twine, what was goin' through his mind Did it just seem like a good idea at the time Well, we walked up beside it and I warned the kids "Now, you better not touch it, those ropes are there for a reason" I said, "Maybe if you're good, I'll tie it to the back of our car and we can take it home", but I was only teasin' Then we went to the gift shop and stood in line Bought a souvineer miniature ball of twine, some window decals, and anything else they'd sell us And we bought a couple post cards, "Greetings from the twine ball, wish you were here" Won't the folks back home be jealous I gave our camera to Bernie and we stood by the ball and we all gathered 'round and said, "Cheese" The Bernie ran away with my brand new Insti-Matic, but at least we got our memories Then we all just stared at the ball for a while and my eyes got moist, but I said with a smile, "Kids, this here's what America's all about" Then I started feelin' kinda gooey inside and I fell on my knees and I cried and cried And that's when those security guards threw us out You know, I bet if we unravelled that sucker, It'd roll all the way down to Fargo, North Dakota 'Cause it's the biggest ball of twine in Minnesota I'm talkin' 'bout the biggest ball of twine in Minnesota Well, we stayed that night at the Twine Ball Inn In the morning we were on our way home again But we really didn't want to leave, that was perfectly clear I said, "Folks, I can tell you're all sad to go" Then I winked my eye and I said, "You know, I got a funny kind of feelin' we'll be comin' back again next year" 'Cause I've been all around this great big world And I can't think of anywhere else I'd rather go to Than the biggest ball of twine in Minnesota I said the biggest ball of twine in Minnesota Minnesota Minnesota Minnesota Related Lyrics Random lyrics: Callin In Sick Today, Carnival Of The Animals Part Two, Introduction, Cats In The Kettle, Cheerios Apple Jacks Cheerios, Chewy, Chicken Pot Pie, Christmas Memories Of Weird Al Yankovic, Christmas Memories Or Weird Al Yannkovic, Cockroaches, Cockroachs, Constipated, Couch Potato(Lose Yourself Parody), Dead Car Battery Blues, Dont Shoot Mister Postman, Dont Wear Those Shoes, Dr. Dementos 15th Anniversary Special, Dr. Dementos 15th Anniversary Special, eBay, Elmos Got A Gun, Enter Napster, Fast Food, Fatter, Finale, Flatbush Avenue, food medley as performed in 1985 - 01, food medley as performed in 1985 - 02, food medley as performed in 1985 - 03, food medley as performed in 1985 - 05, food medley as performed in 1985 - 06, food medley as performed in 1985 - 07, food medley as performed in 1985 - 08, food medley as performed in 1985 - 10, food medley as performed in 1985 - 11, food medley as performed in 1985 - 13, food medley as performed in 1985-01, food medley as performed in 1985-02, food medley as performed in 1985-03, food medley as performed in 1985-05, food medley as performed in 1985-06, food medley as performed in 1985-07, food medley as performed in 1985-08, food medley as performed in 1985-10, food medley as performed in 1985-11, food medley as performed in 1985-13, Franks 2000, Franks 2000 TV, Free Delivery, Fun Zone, Gandhi Ii, Gee Im A Nerd, Other Weird Al Yankovic song Lyrics 12 Pains Of Christmas Lyrics 1985 Food Medley-02-Doctor Lyrics 1985 Food Medley-03-Steak Number 3 Lyrics 1985 Food Medley-06-Girls Just Want To Have Lunch Lyrics 1985 Food Medley-07-The Rye And The Kaiser Lyrics 1985 Food Medley-08-I Love Rocky Road Lyrics 1985 Food Medley-11-Avocado Lyrics 1985 Food Medley-12-Whole Lotta Lunch Lyrics 1985 Food Medley-13-Bologna Lyrics 50 Ways To Get Bin Laden Lyrics Aardvark Lyrics ...Show All Other Artists Yankovic Weird Al Lyrics Weird Al Yankovich Lyrics Weird Al YankovicL Lyrics Weisse Apostel Lyrics Weissglut Lyrics Welbilt Lyrics Welch Bob Lyrics Bob Welch Lyrics Welch Gillian Lyrics Gillian Welch Lyrics All lyrics are property and copyright of their owners and are strictly for educational purposes only. lyricstrue.net Copyright © 2005-2007 All Rights Reserved., , Privacy policy
