Lyrics The Banana Boat Song (Day-O)

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
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
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 me say day, me say day
A beautiful bunch a 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
