《30,000 Pounds of Bananas(Live; 1975)》歌词

[00:00:05] It was just after dark when the truck started down
[00:00:44] The hill that leads into Scranton Pennsylvania
[00:00:50] Carrying thirty thousand pounds of bananas
[00:00:58] Carrying thirty thousand pounds
[00:01:01] Hit it Big John
[00:01:03] Of bananas
[00:01:13] He was a young driver
[00:01:17] Just out on his second job
[00:01:20] And he was carrying the next day's pasty fruits
[00:01:23] For everyone in that coal-scarred city
[00:01:27] Where children play without despair
[00:01:30] In backyard slag-piles and folks manage to eat each day
[00:01:36] Just about thirty thousand pounds of bananas
[00:01:44] Yes just about thirty thousand pounds
[00:01:47] Scream it again John
[00:01:56] He passed a sign that he should have seen
[00:01:58] Saying shift to low gear a fifty dollar fine my friend
[00:02:04] He was thinking perhaps about the warm-breathed woman
[00:02:07] Who was waiting at the journey's end
[00:02:11] He started down the two mile drop
[00:02:13] The curving road that wound from the top of the hill
[00:02:19] He was pushing on through the shortening miles that ran down to the depot
[00:02:25] Just a few more miles to go
[00:02:28] Then he'd go home and have her ease his long cramped day away
[00:02:33] And the smell of thirty thousand pounds of bananas
[00:02:41] Yes the smell of thirty thousand pounds of bananas
[00:02:57] He was picking speed as the city spread its twinkling lights below him
[00:03:04] But he paid no heed as the shivering thoughts of the nights
[00:03:07] Delights went through him
[00:03:10] His foot nudged the brakes to slow him down
[00:03:12] But the pedal floored easy without a sound
[00:03:14] He said Christ
[00:03:15] It was funny how he had named the only man who could save him now
[00:03:21] He was trapped inside a dead-end hellslide
[00:03:24] Riding on his fear-hunched back
[00:03:26] Was every one of those yellow green
[00:03:29] I'm telling you thirty thousand pounds of bananas
[00:03:35] Yes there were thirty thousand pounds of bananas
[00:03:53] He barely made the sweeping curve that led into the steepest grade
[00:04:00] And he missed the thankful passing bus at ninety miles an hour
[00:04:04] And he said God make it a dream
[00:04:08] As he rode his last ride down
[00:04:12] And he said God make it a dream
[00:04:15] As he rode his last ride down
[00:04:18] And he sideswiped nineteen neat parked cars
[00:04:21] Clipped off thirteen telephone poles
[00:04:22] Hit two houses bruised eight trees
[00:04:24] And Blue-Crossed seven people
[00:04:25] It was then he lost his head
[00:04:27] Not to mention an arm or two before he stopped
[00:04:36] And he slid for four hundred yards
[00:04:40] Along the hill that leads into Scranton Pennsylvania
[00:04:46] All those thirty thousand pounds of bananas
[00:05:01] You know the man who told me about it on the bus
[00:05:16] As it went up the hill out of Scranton Pennsylvania
[00:05:23] He shrugged his shoulders he shook his head
[00:05:28] And he said
[00:05:33] And this is exactly what he said
[00:05:42] Boy that sure must've been something
[00:05:47] Just imagine thirty thousand pounds of bananas
[00:05:59] Yes there were thirty thousand pounds of mashed bananas
[00:06:04] Of bananas
[00:06:05] Just bananas
[00:06:06] Thirty thousand pounds
[00:06:31] Of Bananas
[00:06:32] Not no driver now
[00:06:38] Just bananas
[00:06:41] From Greatest Stories Live:Ending number one
[00:06:47] Yes we have no bananas
[00:06:51] We have no bananas today
[00:07:03] Spoken:And if that wasn't enough
[00:07:05] Yes we have no bananas
[00:07:14] Bananas in Scranton P A
[00:07:15] From Greatest Stories Live:Ending 2:
[00:07:19] A woman walks into her room where her child lies sleeping
[00:07:32] And when she sees his eyes are closed
[00:07:35] She sits there silently weeping
[00:07:50] And though she lives in Scranton Pennsylvania
[00:08:34] She never ever eats Bananas
[00:09:21] Not one of thirty thousand pounds
[00:10:31] Of bananas
