歌曲歌詞
Well I had two weeks of vacation time coming
After working all year down at Big Roy's Eating And Plumbing
So one night when my family the I were gathered 'round the dinner table
I said "Kids if you could go anywhere in this great big world now
Where'd you like to go ta"
They said "Dad we wanna see the biggest ball of twine in Minnesota"
They picked the biggest ball of twine in Minnesota
So the very next day we loaded up the car
With potato skins and pickled weiners
Crossword puzzles Spider-Man comics and mama's home made rhubarb pie
Pulled out of the driveway and the neighbors they all waved good-bye
And so began our three day journey
We picked up a guy holding a sign that said "twine ball or bust"
He smelled real bad and he said his name was Bernie
I put in a Slim Whitman tape my wife put on a brand new hair net
Kids were in the back seat jumping up and down
Yelling "Are we there yet"
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
