Luyện nghe bài hát Milton

Now, tell ya a tale that'll bust yer heart
only a few people knew, ta start
It all place when our concert tour was booked at the SeaTac 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 was o-fficial tour director,
Electrical plug connector
An' the slave-drivin'-est conductor
That we seen in our lives
He'd say "Whaddya mean, ya need more
"The world don't whether ya look yer best!
"Simply up promptly at six A.M. with your instruments ...and your wives!"

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

He'd always arrive in the a' time
A good minutes ahead a' flight time
A-lookin' like he'd been drug through a 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 bags and fly!"
"Well, mean, this is too much weight?
"We only got forty-six a' freight!
"And if it don't go, who's gonna it to our fan club in Tacoma?"

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

When the drinks were up yonder...

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

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

Milton's bolder...

He'd himself in room one-oh-four
Let nobody in 'til he swept the
Adjusted the lampshade, aligned the TV, the faucet, called the promoter
"Well, mean we're the warmup show?
"You're me on! We're stars, ya know!
"And this ain't the way we was treated summer at Six Flags Over 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, 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' stuck together on down that line
But there was one or two points over which we 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 throwin'
An' when ya arrive at four for a five show
An' the stage built an' there's no electricity
all ya could do is sit on yer butt an' cut bait
However, you give ol' four strong bodies, a nine-foot grand, a beer and a cigarette
An' you knew that 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 we'd
An' poor ol' Milton couldn't live with his brain just shorted out.
Well, he locked in the bathroom
An' then when he didn't come out for an hour an' a
We figgered that was wrong, but we had to remove all doubt
We transfixed in shock and horror
When we busted that there bathroom door
And I hope I never see a sight like that again; no, I
There was nothin' to do but 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, next December
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 introduce us without his
So Milton, wherever you are, we hope you us!
See, Milton has on down the road
the rainbow, lookin' for gold
Yeah, he's up there where the stage is always on
But we forget that curly hair
When we saw him a-settin' there
Holdin' his tambourine, suckin' his thumb, an' sound asleep on the
