The Biggest Ball Of Twine In Minnesota - Weird Al Yankovic[00:00:01]

Well, I had two weeks of vacation time coming[00:00:08]

After working all year down at Big Roy's Eating And Plumbing[00:00:10]

So one night when my family the I were gathered 'round the dinner table[00:00:12]

I said, "Kids, if you could go anywhere in this great big world, now[00:00:19]

Where'd you like to go ta"[00:00:25]

They said, "Dad, we wanna see the biggest ball of twine in Minnesota"[00:00:27]

They picked the biggest ball of twine in Minnesota[00:00:33]

So the very next day we loaded up the car[00:00:41]

With potato skins and pickled weiners,[00:00:43]

Crossword puzzles, Spider-Man comics, and mama's home made rhubarb pie[00:00:46]

Pulled out of the driveway and the neighbors, they all waved good-bye[00:00:51]

And so began our three day journey[00:00:56]

We picked up a guy holding a sign that said "twine ball or bust"[00:00:59]

He smelled real bad and he said his name was Bernie[00:01:05]

I put in a Slim Whitman tape, my wife put on a brand new hair net[00:01:10]

Kids were in the back seat jumping up and down,[00:01:15]

Yelling "Are we there yet?"[00:01:18]

And all of us were joined together in one common thought[00:01:19]

As we rolled down the long and winding interstate in our '53 DeSoto[00:01:22]

We're gonna see the biggest ball of twine in Minnesota[00:01:31]

We're headin' for the biggest ball of twine in Minnesota[00:01:34]

Oh, we couldn't wait to get there[00:01:43]

So we drove straight through for three whole days and nights[00:01:45]

Of course, we stopped for more pickled weiners now and then[00:01:49]

The scenery was just so pretty, boy I wish the kids could've seen it[00:01:53]

But you can't see out of the side of the car[00:01:59]

Because the windows are completely covered[00:02:01]

With the decals of all the place where we've already been[00:02:03]

There's Elvis-O-Rama, the Tupperware Museum,[00:02:07]

The Boll Weevil Monument, and Cranberry World,[00:02:09]

The Shuffleboard Hall Of Fame, Poodle Dog Rock,[00:02:12]

And The Mecca of Albino Squirrels[00:02:14]

We've been to ghost towns, theme parks, wax museums,[00:02:17]

And a place where you can drive through the middle of a tree[00:02:19]

We've seen alligator farms and tarantula ranches,[00:02:22]

But there's still one thing we gotta see[00:02:24]

Well, we crossed the state line about 6:39[00:02:26]

And we saw a sign that said "Twine Ball exit - 50 miles"[00:02:28]

Oh, the kids were so happy the started singing[00:02:33]

"99 Bottles Of Beer On The Wall" for the 27th time that day[00:02:35]

So, we pulled off the road at the last chance gas station[00:02:40]

Got a few more pickled weiners and a diet chocolate soda[00:02:43]

On our way to see the biggest ball of twine in Minnesota[00:02:46]

We're gonna see the biggest ball of tiwne in Minnesota[00:02:51]

Finally, at 7:37 early Wednesday evening as the sun was setting[00:03:00]

In the Minnesota sky[00:03:04]

Out in the distance, on the horizon, it appeared to me like a vision[00:03:10]

Before my unbelieving eye[00:03:14]

I parked the car and walked with awe-filled reverence towards that[00:03:19]

Glorius huge majestic sphere[00:03:23]

I was just so overwhelmed by its sheer imensity,[00:03:25]

I had to pop myself a beer[00:03:29]

Yes, on these hallowed grounds, open ten to eight on weekdays,[00:03:38]

In a little shrine under a make-shift pagoda,[00:03:43]

There sits the biggest ball of twine in Minnesota[00:03:47]

I tell you, it's the biggest ball of twine in Minnesota[00:03:50]

Oh, what on earth would make a man decide to do that kind of thing?[00:04:00]

Oh, windin' up twenty-one thousand, one hundred forty pounds of string[00:04:09]

What was he trying to prove, who was he trying to impress[00:04:16]

Why did he build it, how did he do, it was anybody's guess[00:04:22]

Where did he get the twine, what was goin' through his mind[00:04:28]

Did it just seem like a good idea at the time[00:04:33]

Well, we walked up beside it and I warned the kids[00:04:38]

"Now, you better not touch it, those ropes are there for a reason"[00:04:40]

I said, "Maybe if you're good, I'll tie it to the back of our car[00:04:45]

And we can take it home", but I was only teasin'[00:04:48]

Then we went to the gift shop and stood in line[00:04:52]

Bought a souvineer miniature ball of twine, some window decals,[00:04:54]

And anything else they'd sell us[00:04:57]

And we bought a couple post cards, "Greetings from the twine ball,[00:05:00]

Wish you were here"[00:05:04]

Won't the folks back home be jealous[00:05:05]

I gave our camera to Bernie and we stood by the ball and we all gathered[00:05:09]

Round and said, "Cheese"[00:05:12]

The Bernie ran away with my brand new Insti-Matic,[00:05:14]

But at least we got our memories[00:05:16]

Then we all just stared at the ball for a while and my eyes got moist,[00:05:18]

But I said with a smile, "Kids, this here's what America's all about"[00:05:22]

Then I started feelin' kinda gooey inside and I fell on my knees[00:05:28]

And I cried and cried[00:05:32]

And that's when those security guards threw us out[00:05:33]

You know, I bet if we unravelled that sucker,[00:05:37]

It'd roll all the way down to Fargo, North Dakota[00:05:40]

'Cause it's the biggest ball of twine in Minnesota[00:05:43]

I'm talkin' 'bout the biggest ball of twine in Minnesota[00:05:47]

Well, we stayed that night at the Twine Ball Inn[00:05:57]

In the morning we were on our way home again[00:05:59]

But we really didn't want to leave, that was perfectly clear[00:06:02]

I said, "Folks, I can tell you're all sad to go"[00:06:06]

Then I winked my eye and I said, "You know, I got a funny kind of feelin'[00:06:09]

We'll be comin' back again next year"[00:06:13]

'Cause I've been all around this great big world[00:06:16]

And I can't think of anywhere else I'd rather go to[00:06:18]

Than the biggest ball of twine in Minnesota[00:06:21]

I said the biggest ball of twine in Minnesota[00:06:27]

Minnesota[00:06:30]

Minnesota[00:06:35]

Minnesota[00:06:37]
