[Intro]
Okay, now there's only one other last requirement, and that is we'd like to get the uh, the LA Memorial Choir in on this one. Are you guys—I guess you're game, you've been game all night. Okay, now.
It's a, it's a low part, but it builds up. Last, last statement it that this song starts off with an absolutely brilliant Chet Atkins guitar lick that it took me about four hours to steal, and I, we should appreciate it when it comes by.
[Verse 1]
It was just after dark when the truck started down
The hill that leads into Scranton, Pennsylvania
[Refrain]
Carrying thirty thousand pounds of bananas
Carrying thirty thousand pounds
Hit it big John
Said, of bananas
[Verse 2]
He was a young driver, just out on his second job
And he was carrying thе next day's pasty fruits
For everyonе in that coal-scarred city
Where children play without despair
In backyard slag piles and folks manage to eat each day
[Refrain]
Just about thirty thousand pounds of bananas
Yes, there were thirty thousand pounds
Scream it again, John
Of bananas
