Lyrics

Day-o, me say day-o
Daylight come and me want to go
Day, me say day, me say day, me say day, me say day, me say day-ay-ay-o
Daylight come and me want to go
Work all night on a drink of rum
(Daylight come and me want to go home)
Stack banana 'til the morning come
(Daylight come and me want to go home)
Come, mister tally man, tally me banana
(Daylight come and me want to go home)
Come, mister tally man, tally me banana
(Daylight come and me want to go home)
Lift six foot, seven foot, eight foot, bunch
(Daylight come and me want to go home)
Six foot, seven foot, eight foot, bunch
(Daylight come and me want to go home)
Day, me say day-o
(Daylight come and me want to go home)
Day, me say day, me say day, me say
(Daylight come and me want to go home)
A beautiful bunch of ripe banana
(Daylight come and me want to go home)
Hide the deadly black tarantula
(Daylight come and me want to go home)
Lift six foot, seven foot, eight foot, bunch
(Daylight come and me want to go home)
Six foot, seven foot, eight foot, bunch
(Daylight come and me want to go home)
Day (Day), me say day-o
(Daylight come and me want to go home)
Day (Day), me say day, me say day, me say
(Daylight come and me want to go home)
Day, me say day-o
(Daylight come and me want to go home)
