the banana boat song day o

Harry Belafonte

Day-o, day-o
Daylight come and me wan go home
Day, me say day, me say day, me say day
Me say day, me say day-o
Daylight come and me wan go home

Work all night on a drink of rum
Daylight come and me wan go home
Stack banana till the mornin come
Daylight come and me wan go home

Come, Mister tally man, tally me banana
Daylight come and me wan go home
Come, Mister tally man, tally me banana
Daylight come and me wan go home

Lift six foot, seven foot, eight foot bunch
Daylight come and me wan go home
Six foot, seven foot, eight foot bunch
Daylight come and me wan go home

Day, me say day-o
Daylight come and me wan go home
Day, me say day, me say day, me say day...
Daylight come and me wan go home

A beautiful bunch o ripe banana
Daylight come and me wan go home
Hide the deadly black tarantula
Daylight come and me wan go home

Lift six foot, seven foot, eight foot bunch
Daylight come and me wan go home
Six foot, seven foot, eight foot bunch
Daylight come and me wan go home

Day, me say day-o
Daylight come and me wan go home
Day, me say day, me say day, me say day...
Daylight come and me wan go home

Come, Mister tally man, tally me banana
Daylight come and me wan go home
Come, Mister tally man, tally me banana
Daylight come and me wan go home

Day-o, day-o
Daylight come and me wan go home
Day, me say day, me say day, me say day
Me say day, me say day-o
Daylight come and me wan go home
