Letra da música de Harry Chapin: 30,000 Pounds Of Bananas

30,000 Pounds Of Bananas


It was just after dark when the truck started down
the hill that leads into Scranton Pennsylvania
Carrying thirty thousand pounds of bananas
Carrying thirty thousand pounds (hit it Big John) of bananas

He was a young driver,
just out on his second jo
And he was carrying the next day's pasty fruits
for everyone in that coal-scarred city
where children play without despair
in backyard slag-piles and folks manage to eat each day
about thirty thousand pounds of bananas
Yes, just about thirty thousand pounds (scream it again, John)

He passed a sign that he should have seen,
saying "shift to low gear, a fifty dollar fine my friend"
He was thinking perhaps about the warm-breathed woman
who was waiting at the journey's end
He started down the two mile drop,
the curving road that wound from the top of the hill
He was pushing on through the shortening miles that ran down to the depot
Just a few more miles to go,
then he'd go home and have her ease his long, cramped day away
and the smell of thirty thousand pounds of bananas
Yes the smell of thirty thousand pounds of bananas

He was picking speed as the city spread its twinkling lights below him
But he paid no heed as the shivering thoughts of the nights
delights went through him
His foot nudged the brakes to slow him down
But the pedal floored easy without a sound
He said "Christ!"
It was funny how he had named the only man who could save him now
He was trapped inside a dead-end hellslide,
riding on his fear-hunched back
was every one of those yellow green
I'm telling you thirty thousand pounds of bananas
Yes, there were thirty thousand pounds of bananas

He barely made the sweeping curve that led into the steepest grade
And he missed the thankful passing bus at ninety miles an hour
And he said "God, make it a dream!"
as he rode his last ride down
And he said "God, make it a dream!"
as he rode his last ride down
And he sideswiped nineteen neat parked cars,
clipped off thirteen telephone poles,
hit two houses, bruised eight trees,
and Blue-Crossed seven people
it was then he lost his head,
not to mention an arm or two before he stopped
And he slid for four hundred yards
along the hill that leads into Scranton, Pennsylvania
All those thirty thousand pounds of bananas

You know the man who told me about it on the bus,
as it went up the hill out of Scranton, Pennsylvania,
he shrugged his shoulders, he shook his head,
and he said (and this is exactly what he said)
"Boy that sure must've been something
Just imagine thirty thousand pounds of bananas
Yes, there were thirty thousand pounds of mashed bananas
Of bananas Just bananas Thirty thousand pounds
of Bananas not no driver now Just bananas!"

From Greatest Stories Live: Ending #1

Yes, we have no bananas,
We have no bananas today
(Spoken: And if that wasn't enough)
Yes, we have no bananas,
Bananas in Scranton, P A

From Greatest Stories Live: Ending #2:

A woman walks into her room where her child lies sleeping,
and when she sees his eyes are closed,
she sits there, silently weeping,
and though she lives in Scranton, Pennsylvania
She never ever eats Bananas
Not one of thirty thousand pounds of bananas
