Well, I had two weeks of vacation time coming After workin' all year down at Big Roy's Heating & Plumbing So, one night, when my family and 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 to?" 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, SpiderMan comics and Mama's homemade rhubarb pie Pulled out of the driveway, and the neighbors, they all waved goodbye And so began our three-day journey We picked up a guy holdin' 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 hairnet Kids were in the backseat, jumpin' up and down, yellin' "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 DeSota 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 ...
