Lyrics of The Banana Boat Song (Day O) by Harry Belafonte
intro
Day-o, day-o
Daylight come and we want go home
Day, me say day, me say day, me say day, me say day, me say day
Daylight come and we want go home
verse
Work all night on a drink of rum
(Daylight come and we want go home)
Stack banana 'til the morning come
(Daylight come and we want go home)
Come Mister tally man, tally me banana
(Daylight come and we want go home)
Come Mister tally man, tally me banana
(Daylight come and we want go home)
verse
Lift six foot, seven foot, eight foot bunch
(Daylight come and we want go home)
Six foot, seven foot, eight foot bunch
(Daylight come and we want go home)
verse
Day, is a day-o
(Daylight come and we want go home)
Day, is a day, is a day, is a day
(Daylight come and we want go home)
verse
A beautiful bunch of ripe banana
(Daylight come and we want go home)
Hide the deadly black tarantula
(Daylight come and we want go home)
verse
Lift six foot, seven foot, eight foot bunch
(Daylight come and we want go home)
Six foot, seven foot, eight foot bunch
(Daylight come and we want go home)
verse
Day, is a day-o
(Daylight come and we want go home)
Day, is a day, is a day, is a day, is a day, is a day-o
(Daylight come and we want go home)
verse
Come Mister tally man, tally me banana
(Daylight come and we want go home)
Come Mister tally man, tally me banana
(Daylight come and we want go home)
outro
Day-o, day-o
(Daylight come and we want go home)
Day, me say day, me say day, me say day, me say day, me say day
(Daylight come and we want go home)
Writer(s): Irving Burgie, William Attaway
