Luyện nghe bài hát Milton

Now, I'll tell ya a tale bust yer heart
That a few people knew, ta start
It all took place when our concert tour was booked at the Hilton?
I'll guarantee ev'ry the Gospel truth
Got witnesses ta it, too,
'Cause we all toured with a fella by the name a'

Now Milton was tour director,
Electrical plug connector
An' the travel conductor
That we ever in our lives
say "Whaddya mean, ya need more rest?
"The world don't care whether ya yer best!
"Simply show up at six A.M. with your instruments ...and your wives!"

He'd arrive in the nick a' time
A five minutes ahead a' flight time
A-lookin' like he'd drug through a needle's eye
He'd stand there, stoned and about ta
On his Egg McMuffin an' his Coke
An' he'd throw all the tickets on the counter and say
"Check the and let's fly!"
"Well, mean, this is too much weight?
"We only got forty-six a' freight!
"And if it don't go, gonna explain it to our fan club in Tacoma?"

all get embarassed an' head for the plane
While stood there, bein' profane
But somehow he managed ta get on board ...in sort of a coma

When the drinks served up yonder...

Well, we deplaned at th' end
All the trouble to commence again
Though had ordered three station wagons, a pickup truck and a limo
And though phoned ahead to that Number Two
an' fussin' an' turnin' blue
We'd always end up with two Datsoons and a

Now took all a' that stuff in stride
Laid on the floor, an' an' cried
But we always looked up to him for and salvation
But we'd sink to the bottom a' hell
When he'd check us in a motel
And he'd grab the by his shirt an' tie an' say
"Whaddya mean, reservacines?"

Milton's bolder...

He'd shut himself in one-oh-four
Let nobody in 'til he the floor
Adjusted the lampshade, aligned the TV, fixed the faucet, the promoter
"Well, whaddya we're the warmup show?
"You're puttin' me on! stars, ya know!
"And this ain't the way we was treated last summer at Six Flags Dakota!
"Now we have a hunnert percent top billing,
"Two-thirds in advance, a' course, you silly!
"I'm we prefer a chauffered limosine and two air-conditioned dressing rooms, please.
"I'm what? Well, so's your wife! not? Well, to each his own.
"Beg pardon, stick it in my Well, really, Merle who?"

William Morris, us working...

Now, Milton was a real good friend a'
An' stuck together on down that line
But was one or two points over which we just had to dee-bate
takin'-your-clothes-off-an'-hangin'-from-a-cross-in-front-a'-the-Tri-County-Fairgrounds
Is not necessarily an assurance that the crowd ain't gonna start tomatas
An' when ya arrive at four for a five show
An' the stage ain't built an' no electricity
About all ya could do is sit on yer an' cut bait
However, you give ol' Milton four strong bodies, a nine-foot grand, a beer and a
An' you just knew show was gonna be ...outta state

Bringing in the
in the bread...

Now one up there in Washington
We didn't get paid for a show done
An' ol' Milton couldn't live with that; his brain just shorted out.
Well, he locked himself in the
An' then when he didn't come out for an an' a half
We figgered that somethin' was wrong, but we had to remove all
We stood transfixed in and horror
When we down that there bathroom door
And I hope I never see a like that again; no, I don't
was nothin' to do but close our eyes, an' bow our heads, an' vocalize
With a silent acapella hymn, for him

What a we had in Milton...

Now we're gettin' ready, come next
To put another concert tour
And I'm sad to say ol' Milton ain't a-gonna be us
No, it ain't gonna be exactly the
When they us without his name
So Milton, you are, we hope you miss us!
See, Milton has moved on the road
the rainbow, lookin' for gold
Yeah, he's up there where the stage lights is on
But we can't forget curly hair
When last we saw him a-settin'
Holdin' his tambourine, his thumb, an' sound asleep on the john
