[Shirley Bassey - Banana Boat Song lyrics]
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)
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)
