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 job
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
Era logo após escuro quando o caminhão começou a descer
A colina que conduz para Pennsylvania de scranton
Carregando Trinta mil libras de bananas
Carregando Trinta mil libras (bata Big John) de bananas
Ele era um motorista jovem
Fora do seu segundo trabalho
E ele estava levando as frutas pastosas do dia seguinte
Para todo o mundo nisso cidade carvão-cicatrizada
Onde as crianças brincam sem desespero
Em escória-pilha de quintal e povos administram comer cada dia
Aproximadamente trinta mil libras de bananas
Sim, aproximadamente trinta mil libras (grite novamente, Big John) de bananas
Ele passou um sinal que ele deveria ter visto
Dizendo
