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 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, 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''

bb_matt Apr 30, 2013 - 07:13	Oh my, what an odd song this is, going right back to my childhood. For some reason, being British, I put this in the same head space as 'The goons', which is entirely wrong of course. [ Reply ]
Stephenater Feb 26, 2013 - 17:56	My first and favorite memory of the Banana Boat Song is Harry singing it on the Flip Wilson Show. I used to watch that show with my Dad, good times... [ Reply ]
asilbuch Jan 26, 2013 - 10:20	My parents loved Harry Belafonte and played this song frequently. Fond memories of me and my brother dancing around with my Dad's bongos and castanets! [ Reply ]

chelsiaann Aug 22, 2012 - 08:48	Surprising to hear, but that's also what I love about RP. Variety across generations. Even if, like others, all I can think of is Beetlejuice. [ Reply ]
