Luyện nghe bài hát Milton

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

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

in sorta of "Bringing In The Sheaves" way]
Shall we gather at the

always arrive in the nick a' time
A good five minutes ahead a' flight
A-lookin' like been drug through a needle's eye
He'd there, stoned and about ta choke
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, whaddya mean, this is too weight?
"We got forty-six pieces a' freight!
"And if it don't go, who's gonna it to our fan club in Tacoma?"

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

When the drinks were up yonder...

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

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

Milton's bolder...

shut himself in room one-oh-four
Let nobody in he swept the floor
the lampshade, aligned the TV, fixed the faucet, called the promoter
"Well, whaddya mean we're the warmup
"You're puttin' me on! stars, ya know!
"And this ain't the way we was last summer at Six Flags Over Dakota!
"Now we gotta have a 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 what? Well, so's wife! She's not? Well, to each his own.
"Beg pardon, stick it in my what? Well, really, who?"

William Morris, us working...

Now, Milton was a real good a' mine
An' we'd stuck together on down that
But there was one or two over which we just had to dee-bate
Like
Is not necessarily an assurance the crowd ain't gonna start throwin' tomatas
An' when ya arrive at 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 grand, a beer and a cigarette
An' you just that show was gonna be ...outta state

Bringing in the
in the bread...

Now one night up there in
We didn't get paid for a we'd done
An' poor ol' Milton couldn't live that; his brain just shorted out.
Well, he locked himself in the
An' then when he didn't out for an hour an' a half
We that somethin' was wrong, but we had to remove all doubt
We stood transfixed in and horror
When we busted 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 five-part acapella hymn, for him

What a we had in Milton...

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