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 at the SeaTac Hilton?
I'll guarantee ev'ry word's the truth
Got ta prove it, too,
'Cause we all with a fella by the name a' Milton

Now Milton was o-fficial director,
Electrical piano-playin' plug
An' the travel conductor
That we ever in our lives
He'd say "Whaddya mean, ya need more
"The world don't care ya look yer best!
"Simply show up promptly at six A.M. with instruments ...and your wives!"

[Choir; in of "Bringing In The Sheaves" way]
Shall we gather at the

He'd always arrive in the a' time
A good five minutes ahead a' flight
like he'd been drug through a needle's eye
He'd there, stoned and about ta choke
On his Egg McMuffin an' his giant
An' then he'd throw all the on the counter and say
"Check the and let's fly!"
"Well, whaddya mean, is too much weight?
"We only got pieces a' freight!
"And if it go, who's gonna explain it to our fan club in Tacoma?"

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

When the drinks served up yonder...

Well, we deplaned at th' end
All the seemed to commence again
Though Milton had ordered three station wagons, a pickup truck and a
And though he'd phoned to that Number Two
Cussin' an' fussin' an' blue
We'd end up with two Datsoons and a Pinto

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

Milton's bolder...

He'd shut himself in one-oh-four
Let nobody in he swept the floor
Adjusted the lampshade, the TV, fixed the faucet, called the promoter
"Well, whaddya we're the warmup show?
"You're me on! We're stars, ya know!
"And this the way we was treated last summer at Six Flags Over Dakota!
"Now we have a hunnert percent top billing,
"Two-thirds in advance, a' course, you silly!
"I'm sure we prefer a chauffered and two air-conditioned dressing rooms, please.
"I'm Well, so's your wife! She's 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 a' mine
An' we'd stuck on down that line
But there was one or two points over which we just had to
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 at four for a five o'clock show
An' the stage ain't built an' there's no
all ya could do is sit on yer butt an' cut bait
However, you give ol' Milton four strong bodies, a nine-foot grand, a beer and a
An' you just knew that show was gonna be ...outta

Bringing in the
in the bread...

Now one night up there in
We get paid for a show we'd done
An' poor ol' Milton couldn't live with that; his brain shorted out.
Well, he locked in the bathroom
An' when he didn't come out for an hour an' a half
We figgered that somethin' was wrong, but we had to all doubt
We stood in shock and horror
When we down that there bathroom door
And I hope I never see a sight like that again; no, I
There was 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 December
To put another tour together
And I'm sad to say ol' Milton ain't a-gonna be us
No, it ain't gonna be the same
When they introduce us without his
So Milton, you are, we hope you miss us!
See, Milton has on down the road
the rainbow, lookin' for gold
Yeah, up there where the stage lights is always on
But we forget that curly hair
When we saw him a-settin' there
his tambourine, suckin' his thumb, an' sound asleep on the john
