[Verse 1]
Well, I had two weeks of vacation time coming
After working all year down at Big Roy's Heating And 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 ta?"
They said, "Dad
[Chorus]
We wanna see the biggest ball of twine in Minnesota!"
They picked the biggest ball of twine in Minnesota
[Verse 2]
So the very next day we loaded up the car
With potato skins and pickled wieners
Crossword puzzles, Spider-Man comics
And mama's homemade 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
