Lyrics
John Moschitta - "Grapes of Wrath"
Tom Joad makes parole, hitches a ride home and runs into Jim Casey
and an Okie named Muley Graves who babbles on and on about caterpillar tractors.
Next day Tom and Jim go to Uncle John Joad's and it's a jolly Joad family indeed
that greet Tom Joad at Uncle John Joad's. The Joads are jazzed!
They're goin' to Cali-Forn-I-Ay!
To work for money! For food! To eat!
So they sell everything they own for a lousy eighteen bucks and head out West.
Along the way on Route 66...
The Joads' dog is run over, Grandpa Joad turns purple and dies, the Joad jalopy
breaks down, a camp official calls Tom a bum, an Arizona border guard hassles the
Joads, Ma Joad worries about how much salt pork is left, and then Grandma Joad
dies as they cross the desert!
Boy are these Joads jinxed!
Finally they get to California where Tom trips up a deputy and Jim kicks the
deputy in the neck. Tom goes to hide; Jim goes to jail; Uncle John goes to
get drunk.
With only ten potatoes left the Joads have to hit the road again.
Finally they stop to pick a few peaches for a nickel a box.
Things are looking up!
But then a cop cracks Jim Casey on the head and kills him.
So Tom turns around and kills him.
The Joads get jittery!
So Tom Joad leaves for good and the Joads move into a dusty dirty
boxcar with the Wainwrights. Everybody picks a little cotton, but
then the rain starts up and things go from bad to worse.
Rose-of-Sharon gives birth to a dead baby and the Joads move into a barn.
So now the Joads have no money, no home, no car, no food, no work!
The only thing they have is a family! A family of Joads!
They have Pa Joad, Ma Joad, Uncle John Joad, Noah Joad, Al Joad,
Rose-of-Sharon Joad, Ruthie Joad, Winfield Joad, and the newest Joad,
wife of Al Joad, Agnes Joad. And that's a load of Joads...
There are no credits on these vids 'cause that's what we decided to do, so nyah. ;D And if you've never read the Grapes of Wrath, well, now you can fake it!
