Day-O also known as the Banana Boat Song, is a Jamaican mento song. It was released by Harry Belafonte in 1955. The tune sounds like The Man With The Big Big Bongo. Lyrics: Day, he say day-o
Daylight come and he wanna go home
Day, he say day-o
Daylight come and he wanna go home
Let's go bananas!
Work all night till the morning come
Daylight come and he wanna go home
Stack banana till the morning come
Daylight come and he wanna go home
Come, mister tally man, tally me banana
Daylight come and he wanna go home
Come, mister tally man, tally me banana
Daylight come and he wanna go home
It's six foot, seven foot, eight foot bunch
Daylight come and he wanna go home
Six foot, seven foot, eight foot bunch
Daylight come and he wanna go home
Day, he say day-o
Daylight come and he wanna go home
Day, he say day-o
Daylight come and he wanna go home
A beautiful bunch of ripe banana
Daylight come and he wanna go home
Hide the deadly black tarantula
Daylight come and he wanna go home
It's six foot, seven foot, eight foot bunch
Daylight come and he wanna go home
Six foot, seven foot, eight foot bunch
Daylight come and he wanna go home
Day, he say day-o
Daylight come and he wanna go home
Day, he say day-o
Daylight come and he wanna go home
Come, mister tally man, tally me banana
Daylight come and he wanna go home
Come, mister tally man, tally me banana
Daylight come and he wanna go home
Day, he say day-o
Daylight come and he wanna go home
Day, he say day-o
Daylight come and he wanna go home
