《30，000 Lbs. Of Bananas》歌词

[00:00:00] 30,000 Lbs. of Bananas (三万镑香蕉) - Harry Chapin

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

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

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

[00:00:17] Scranton Pennsylvania

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

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

[00:00:33] Of bananas

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

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

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

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

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

[00:00:54] In backyard slagpiles

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

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

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

[00:01:11] Of bananas

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:04:10] Almost 30 000 pounds

[00:04:19] Of bananas

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:05:10] Of mashed bananas "

[00:05:17] Of bananas

[00:05:19] Of bananas

[00:05:22] Just bananas

[00:05:25] 30 000 pounds

[00:05:28] Of bananas

[00:05:30] Not no driver now

[00:05:33] Just bananas
