The Banana Boat Song

Day-o, day-ay-ay-o

Daylight come and me wan' go home

Day-o, day-ay-ay-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 de morning come

Daylight come and me wan' go home

Day-o, day-ay-ay-o

Daylight come and me wan' go home

Day-o, day-ay-ay-o

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-ay-ay-o

Daylight come and me wan' go home

Day-o, day-ay-ay-o

Daylight come and me wan' go home



Lift six foot, seven foot, eight foot bunch

Daylight come and me wan' go home

Lift six foot, seven foot, eight foot bunch

Daylight come and me wan' go home



Beautiful bunch of 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-ay-ay-o

Daylight come and me wan' go home

Day, me say day, me say day, me say day
