[00:00:01] The Biggest Ball Of Twine In Minnesota - Weird Al Yankovic
[00:00:08] Well, I had two weeks of vacation time coming
[00:00:10] After working all year down at Big Roy's Eating And Plumbing
[00:00:12] So one night when my family the I were gathered 'round the dinner table
[00:00:19] I said, "Kids, if you could go anywhere in this great big world, now
[00:00:25] Where'd you like to go ta"
[00:00:27] They said, "Dad, we wanna see the biggest ball of twine in Minnesota"
[00:00:33] They picked the biggest ball of twine in Minnesota
[00:00:41] So the very next day we loaded up the car
[00:00:43] With potato skins and pickled weiners,
[00:00:46] Crossword puzzles, Spider-Man comics, and mama's home made rhubarb pie
[00:00:51] Pulled out of the driveway and the neighbors, they all waved good-bye
[00:00:56] And so began our three day journey
[00:00:59] We picked up a guy holding a sign that said "twine ball or bust"
[00:01:05] He smelled real bad and he said his name was Bernie
[00:01:10] I put in a Slim Whitman tape, my wife put on a brand new hair net
[00:01:15] Kids were in the back seat jumping up and down,
[00:01:18] Yelling "Are we there yet?"
[00:01:19] And all of us were joined together in one common thought
[00:01:22] As we rolled down the long and winding interstate in our '53 DeSoto
[00:01:31] We're gonna see the biggest ball of twine in Minnesota
[00:01:34] We're headin' for the biggest ball of twine in Minnesota
[00:01:43] Oh, we couldn't wait to get there
[00:01:45] So we drove straight through for three whole days and nights
[00:01:49] Of course, we stopped for more pickled weiners now and then
[00:01:53] The scenery was just so pretty, boy I wish the kids could've seen it
[00:01:59] But you can't see out of the side of the car
[00:02:01] Because the windows are completely covered
[00:02:03] With the decals of all the place where we've already been
[00:02:07] There's Elvis-O-Rama, the Tupperware Museum,
[00:02:09] The Boll Weevil Monument, and Cranberry World,
[00:02:12] The Shuffleboard Hall Of Fame, Poodle Dog Rock,
[00:02:14] And The Mecca of Albino Squirrels
[00:02:17] We've been to ghost towns, theme parks, wax museums,
[00:02:19] And a place where you can drive through the middle of a tree
[00:02:22] We've seen alligator farms and tarantula ranches,
[00:02:24] But there's still one thing we gotta see
[00:02:26] Well, we crossed the state line about 6:39
[00:02:28] And we saw a sign that said "Twine Ball exit - 50 miles"
[00:02:33] Oh, the kids were so happy the started singing
[00:02:35] "99 Bottles Of Beer On The Wall" for the 27th time that day
[00:02:40] So, we pulled off the road at the last chance gas station
[00:02:43] Got a few more pickled weiners and a diet chocolate soda
[00:02:46] On our way to see the biggest ball of twine in Minnesota
[00:02:51] We're gonna see the biggest ball of tiwne in Minnesota
[00:03:00] Finally, at 7:37 early Wednesday evening as the sun was setting
[00:03:04] In the Minnesota sky
[00:03:10] Out in the distance, on the horizon, it appeared to me like a vision
[00:03:14] Before my unbelieving eye
[00:03:19] I parked the car and walked with awe-filled reverence towards that
[00:03:23] Glorius huge majestic sphere
[00:03:25] I was just so overwhelmed by its sheer imensity,
[00:03:29] I had to pop myself a beer
[00:03:38] Yes, on these hallowed grounds, open ten to eight on weekdays,
[00:03:43] In a little shrine under a make-shift pagoda,
[00:03:47] There sits the biggest ball of twine in Minnesota
[00:03:50] I tell you, it's the biggest ball of twine in Minnesota
[00:04:00] Oh, what on earth would make a man decide to do that kind of thing?
[00:04:09] Oh, windin' up twenty-one thousand, one hundred forty pounds of string
[00:04:16] What was he trying to prove, who was he trying to impress
[00:04:22] Why did he build it, how did he do, it was anybody's guess
[00:04:28] Where did he get the twine, what was goin' through his mind
[00:04:33] Did it just seem like a good idea at the time
[00:04:38] Well, we walked up beside it and I warned the kids
[00:04:40] "Now, you better not touch it, those ropes are there for a reason"
