30 000 Lbs Of Bananas - Harry Chapin[00:00:00]

It was just after dark[00:00:12]

When the truck started down[00:00:14]

The hill that leads into[00:00:15]

Scranton Pennsylvania[00:00:17]

Carrying 30 000 pounds of bananas[00:00:21]

Carrying 30 000 pounds hit it Big John [00:00:28]

Of bananas[00:00:33]

He was a young driver[00:00:39]

Just out on his second job[00:00:43]

And he was carrying the next day's pasty fruits[00:00:45]

For everyone in that coal-scarred city[00:00:48]

When children play without despair[00:00:51]

In backyard slagpiles[00:00:54]

And folks manage to eat each day[00:00:55]

About 30 000 pounds of bananas[00:00:59]

Yes just about 30 000 pounds scream it again John [00:01:06]

Of bananas[00:01:11]

He passed a sign that he should have seen[00:01:17]

Saying "Shift to low gear [00:01:20]

A fifty dollar fine my friend "[00:01:21]

He was thinking perhaps about the warm-breathed woman[00:01:26]

Who was waiting at the journey's end[00:01:29]

He started down the two mile drop[00:01:32]

The curving road that wound from the top of the hill [00:01:34]

He was pushing on through the shortening miles[00:01:40]

That ran down to the depot [00:01:43]

Just a few more miles to go [00:01:46]

Then he'd go home and have her ease his long cramped day away[00:01:48]

From the smell of 30 000 pounds of bananas [00:01:53]

Yes the smell of 30 000 pounds of bananas [00:02:00]

He was picking up speed as the city spread[00:02:14]

Its twinkling lights below him [00:02:16]

But he paid no heed as the shivering thoughts[00:02:21]

Of the night's delights went through him [00:02:24]

His foot nursed the brakes to slow him down [00:02:29]

But the pedal floored easy without a sound [00:02:32]

He said "Christ "[00:02:34]

It was funny how he named[00:02:37]

The only man who could save him now [00:02:39]

He was trapped inside a dead-end hellslide [00:02:43]

Riding on his fear-hunched back[00:02:46]

Was every one of those yellow-green[00:02:48]

I'm tellin' you 30 000 pounds of bananas[00:02:53]

Yes there were 30 000 pounds of bananas [00:02:59]

He barely made the sweeping curve[00:03:11]

That led into the steepest grade[00:03:13]

And he missed the thankful passing bus[00:03:20]

At ninety miles an hour [00:03:23]

And he said "God make it a dream "[00:03:27]

As he rode his last rack down [00:03:32]

He said "God make it a dream "[00:03:37]

As he rode his last rack down [00:03:41]

And he sideswiped nineteen neat parked cars[00:03:46]

Clipped off thirteen telephone poles[00:03:49]

Hit two houses bruised eight trees [00:03:51]

And Blue Crossed seven people [00:03:53]

It was then he lost his head [00:03:55]

Not to mention an arm or two before he stopped [00:03:57]

And he smeared for four hundred yards[00:04:02]

Along the hill that leads into Scranton Pennsylvania [00:04:05]

Almost 30 000 pounds[00:04:10]

Of bananas [00:04:19]

You know the man who told me about it on the bus[00:04:32]

As it went up the hill out of Scranton Pennsylvania [00:04:35]

He shrugged his shoulders He shook his head [00:04:41]

And he said and this is exactly what he said[00:04:44]

"Boy it sure must have been something [00:04:49]

Just imagine 30 000 pounds of bananas [00:04:54]

Yes there were 30 000 pounds[00:05:01]

Of mashed bananas "[00:05:10]

Of bananas[00:05:17]

Of bananas[00:05:19]

Just bananas[00:05:22]

30 000 pounds[00:05:25]

Of bananas[00:05:28]

Not no driver now[00:05:30]

Just bananas[00:05:33]
