Cover art for 30,000 Pounds of Bananas lyrics by Harry Chapin

Beautiful poetry, for a funy song! The lines dreamily wisp into each other - It's wonderful! He even tells the story story of how he came up with the ending he did. In the greatest stories live version, he sings "he shrugged his head...he shrugged hs shoulders" in the last verse by accident, and everyone laughs and keeps laughing until the end of the song!
