Luyện nghe bài hát PAULTALK

I'd to call somebody 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, and gentlemen
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, that was a of a ping-pong ball
Except you'll hear

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

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

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

I'll do to stay afloat
Even swallow Co2

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

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

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

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

Don't at 'em
Here's the conversation in the girls car you never

Here come
they are
Don't at 'em

Remember the time when drive-ins opened
And the girls used to come out to take 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 drive-in
There was a time when the little girls came running out in short little
them?
You in
And the girl would come running up
May I take order sir?
Yes, but I believe it's on the menu, ha ha
They don't, they don't let you flirt any now
They give you a little green box with a button on it
A little speaker grill,

Oh, ok, um, We'd like one deluxe special extra
The one you have out here with the white cup
With that whatever that's in there, take it, whatever it is
And uh, we'd like two hamburgers medium with everything 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
Water them down, or milk them a little, ok
'Cause we got somebody here with chapped lips and they'd it thin
Can, you understand I mean?
Are you

Well, could you us what we have please?

And four
take it
And after you get your order in, you got at least 40 minutes to wait
Even if just a cup of coffee you got 40 minutes to wait
And you get out of your car, right
Remember was a time when drive-ins first opened
You used to in and get out, exchange hellos, greetings
Evidentally some people getting out and exchanging
Something a little heavier than hellos and
They have policemen there to you in your car
You can be 47 years old and drop your credit on the ground
Officer, my wallet
I care who you are kid back in the car
If you do get out, you be very careful
Because the new have radar now
So you have to crawl on belly between the cars
You get over to the of the car

Psssst here!
I can't come up, they'll me
Put down window

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

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

Well, Mr. Businessman has had his bands tightened, and
Those of you who are not sure what I mean
By having bands tightened
The bands are the in an automatic transmission
Which actually affect the change
Uh huh, give you an example
is an automobile with tight bands

This is an with loose bands

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 these 2 fingers up his left arm
This is the universal signlanguage among teenagers for
You probably recall Winston during the war years
Which assumed meant V for victory
Actually if you'll recall Winston Churchill smokes a cigar, right?
He to hold it in here, right?
And occationally he would turn to his friends on the and say
a drag?
See, and the kids it up
The changes
The light changes to amber and Mr. Businessman to get very daring
He pulls the automatic down into low
He puts one on the brake
Still the foot on the brake, in order to get that extra fast start
He pulls the transmission down into low
And pushes down on the five inches
The car is hemorraging
He knows, he knows, he knows he's gonna have to have band job
He's not let THE KID show him up
The light to green, Mr. Businessman is off

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

He looks in the rear view mirror and The Kids back at the corner
He never anybody
He just there and scares the hell out of them
