Day-o, day-ay-ay-o
Daylight come and he wan´ go home
Day, he say day, he say day, he say day, he say day, he say day-ay-ay-o
Daylight come and he wan´ go home
Work all night on a drink a´rum
(Daylight come and he wan´ go home)
Stack banana till thee morning come
(Daylight come and he wan´ go home)
Come, Mr. Tally Mon, tally me banana
(Daylight come and he wan´ go home)
Come, Mr. Tally Mon, tally me banana
(Daylight come and he wan´ go home)
It´s six foot, seven foot, eight foot, BUNCH!
(Daylight come and he wan´ go home)
Six foot, seven foot, eight foot, BUNCH!
(Daylight come and he wan´ go home)
Day, he say day-ay-ay-o
(Daylight come and he wan´ go home)
Day, he say day, he say day, he say day, he say day, he say day...
(Daylight come and he wan´ go home)
A beautiful bunch a´ripe banana
(Daylight come and he wan´ go home)
Hide thee deadly black tarantula
(Daylight come and he wan´ go home)
It´s six foot, seven foot, eight foot, BUNCH!
(Daylight come and he wan´ go home)
Six foot, seven foot, eight foot, BUNCH!
(Daylight come and he wan´ go home)
Day, he say day-ay-ay-o
(Daylight come and he wan´ go home)
Day, he say day, he say day, he say day, he say day, he say day...
(Daylight come and he wan´ go home)
Come, Mr. Tally Mon, tally me banana
(Daylight come and he wan´ go home)
Come, Mr. Tally Mon, tally me banana
(Daylight come and he wan´ go home)
Day-o, day-ay-ay-o
(Daylight come and he wan´ go home)
Day, he say day, he say day, he say day, he say day, he say day-ay-ay-o
(Daylight come and he wan´ go home)
