Lyrics

Day-o, 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-o
Daylight come and me wan' go home
I work all night till the mornin' come
Daylight come and me wanna go home
Stack banana till the mornin' come
Daylight come and me wanna go home
Come, Mister Tally Man, tally the banana
Daylight come and me wanna go home
Come, Mister Tally Man, tally the banana
Daylight come and me wanna go home
Lift six hand, seven hand, eight foot bunch
Daylight come and me wanna go home
Lift six hand, seven hand, eight foot bunch
Daylight come and me wanna go home
Singing day-o, day-o
Daylight come and me wan' go home
I sing, day-o, day-o
Daylight come and me wan' go home
A beautiful bunch o' ripe banana
Daylight come and me wanna go home
Say in the hide the deadly black tarantula
Daylight come and me wanna go home
Lift six hand, seven hand, eight foot bunch
Daylight come and me wanna go home
Lift six hand, seven hand, eight foot bunch
Daylight come and me wanna go home
Singing day-o, day-o
Daylight come and me wan' go home
I sing, day-o, day-o
Daylight come and me wan' go home
Come, Mister Tally Man, tally the banana
Daylight come and me wan' go home
Come, Mister Tally Man, tally the banana
Daylight come and me wanna go home
Singing day-o, day-o
Daylight come and me wan' go home
I sing, day-o, day-o
Daylight come and me wan' go home
A beautiful bunch o' ripe banana
Daylight come and me wan' go home
Me say here in the hide the deadly black tarantula
Daylight come and me wanna go home
Singing day-o, day-o
Daylight come and me wan' go home
I sing, day-o, day-o
Daylight come and me wan' go home
Singing day-o, day-o
Daylight come and me wan' go home
I sing, day-o, day-o
Daylight come and me wan' go home
Singing day-o, day-o
Daylight come and me wan' go home
I sing, day-o, day-o
Daylight come and me wan' go home
