Luyện nghe bài hát PAULTALK

I'd like to call to the stage that you know as a folk singer
But that you met in his other role

Paul is a with a unique point of view and commentary
And in this capacity, ladies and
Please welcome with me to the stage, my good
My compatriot, Stookey

That was the sound of a ball
Or if you're a ping-pong enthusiast, was a sound of a ping-pong ball
generally you'll hear

That's the of a match between a golfer and a ping-pong enthusiast

I golf today, 18 holes I played golf, wooo
I did pretty good too, I think you would been very proud of me
Four. Five. Six

I don't like sports very
There's a vast number of sports I'm not invlved in.
There's water
In order to water ski, really you swim, right?
You're not gonna up there all the time, now
And I like to swim, really
You what swimming is to me?
alive when I'm in the water.

I'll do anything to afloat
Even swallow Co2

But I didn't come out here to talk about
I really, I came out here, Peter talks status
And I cannot of one material object that has more status in this country
the automobile
And it at a very early age now, right?
I mean, now at 14, kids the car, right?
They get permits so they can drive
You get a learners permit at 15, a cheaters at 14
And it's, I guess really necessary because
You lose a lot of calling up a girl and asking her
If you can peddle over and pick her up, right?

They don't really go for that any
And if you look on all the times you had the automobile
Aside from a few interesting saturday
You got to admit that one of the times of all
Was a afternoon, if you could get the car
You come down the stairs, ker-clunk ker-clunk ker-clunk
mom, dad, gonna take the car, ha
Beautiful day for a drive, I I'll go out
Ha haaa haaa ha

And then, and then they level you with that giant killer,
HAVE YOU DONE HOMEWORK?

If you were fast, say, mom, dad, have I done my homework?
Run out the
You pick up 3 other great pretenders, 3 in the afternoon
The time is now 10 oclock in the
The same 4 are in the same car
Well, you wanna do?
I don't know, you wanna do?
Hey, we've been driving for 7
Hey, I got an idea, he he
Yeah, that?
Lets go to a resturant and look at the girls, hehehe
Oh, ok
Well, here they are, but all from our high school
a minute, there's a car load over there
There's a right next to them, lets go get it

look at 'em
Here's the conversation in the car you never heard

Here come
they are
Don't at 'em

Remember the time when first opened
And the girls used to out to take your order?
Now you're lucky you know, if you get a in slacks who delivers it
I understand they're even putting in conveyor belts in some resturants
There was a time when the little girls came running out in short skirts
them?
You in
And the girl would come running up
May I your order sir?
Yes, but I believe it's on the menu, ha ha
They don't, don't let you flirt any more now
They you a little green box with a white button on it
A little grill, right

Oh, ok, um, We'd one cheeseburger deluxe special extra
The one you have out here with the white cup
With that that's in there, we'll take it, whatever it is
And uh, we'd like two hamburgers medium rare with on 'em
And one hamburger, no, one hamburger, meat, no
One frank, and chiliburgers, ok?
Alright, and we'd like two chocolate shakes, regular thick, for you know THICK
And we'd two strawberry shakes thin
them down, or milk them down a little, ok
'Cause we got here with chapped lips and they'd like it thin
Can, you understand what I
Are you

Well, you tell us what we have please?

And four
take it
And after you get your food order in, you got at least 40 minutes to
Even if just a cup of coffee you got 40 minutes to wait
And you cannot get out of car, right
Remember there was a time drive-ins first opened
You used to pull in and get out, exchange hellos,
Evidentally some people were getting out and
a little heavier than hellos and greetings
They policemen there to keep you in your car
You can be 47 years old and your credit cards on the ground
Officer, that's my
I care who you are kid back in the car
If you do get out, you gotta be careful
Because the new resturants have now
So you have to crawl on your belly the cars
You get over to the of the car

Psssst here!
I come up, they'll spot me
Put down window

windows, huh?
Whoo, this is a pretty car
Hey, you're a pretty broad

If you did manage to get out of the drive-in resturant without maimed
was a sporting event taking place at the traffic light
Remember, all of two characters
Mr. Businessman who drove a 4-door family with black-wall tires
Automatic
Seated next to him in a 1941 gray coated Ford
it's rear end 2 inches off the ground
Tomato cans for
With his back to the drivers window, his left arm draped the steering wheel
His right hand onto the gearshift lever
A sneer on sat THE KID

Well, Mr. Businessman has had his bands tightened, and
Those of you who are not quite sure what I
By your bands tightened
The bands are the rings in an transmission
Which affect the gear change
Uh huh, I'll you an example
This is an automobile with bands

This is an automobile with loose

Well, Mr. Businessman has just had his bands
And he thinks that he will THE KID a thing or two
Meanwhile, THE KID
Has inched 2 fingers up over his left arm
This is the universal signlanguage among for dragging
You probably recall Winston Churchill the war years
everyone assumed meant V for victory
Actually if you'll also recall Winston Churchill smokes a cigar,
He used to hold it in here,
And occationally he would turn to his friends on the and say
a drag?
See, and the picked it up
The changes
The light changes to amber and Mr. Businessman to get very daring
He the automatic transmission down into low
He one foot on the brake
Still holding the foot on the brake, in order to get that extra start
He pulls the automatic transmission into low
And down on the accelerator five inches
The car is hemorraging
He knows, he knows, he knows he's gonna to have another band job
He's not gonna let THE KID him up
The light changes to green, Mr. is off

Looks at the speedometer, 80, 90, 95, 96, 97, 98 an hour
Looks out the window and The Kids not there
You what's there?

He looks in the rear view and The Kids still back at the corner
He never races
He sits there and scares the hell out of them
