The Banana Boat Song

Tay O, Tay O
Daylight come and me wan' go home
Day, me say day, me say day, me say day
Me say Tay, me say Tay O
Daylight come and me wan' go home

Work all night on a drink of rum
(Daylight come and me wan' go home)
Stack banana till the mornin' come
(Daylight come and me wan' go home)

Come, Mister Tally Man, tally me banana
(Daylight come and me wan' go home)
Come, Mister Tally Man, tally me banana
(Daylight come and me wan' go home)

Lift six foot, seven foot, eight foot bunch
(Daylight come and me wan' go home)
Six foot, seven foot, eight foot bunch
(Daylight come and me wan' go home)

Tay, me say Tay O
(Daylight come and me wan' go home)
Tay, me say Tay, me say Tay
Me say Tay, me say Tay, me say Tay
(Daylight come and me wan' go home)

A beautiful bunch o' ripe banana
(Daylight come and me wan' go home)
Hide the deadly black tarantula
(Daylight come and me wan' go home)

Lift six foot, seven foot, eight foot bunch
(Daylight come and me wan' go home)
Six foot, seven foot, eight foot bunch
(Daylight come and me wan' go home)

Tay, me say tay O
(Daylight come and me wan' go home)
Day, me say tay, me say tay
Me say tay, me say tay, me say tay
(Daylight come and me wan' go home)

Come, Mister Tally Man, tally me banana
(Daylight come and me wan' go home)
Come, Mister Tally Man, tally me banana
(Daylight come and me wan' go home)

Tay O, tay O
(Daylight come and me wan' go home)
Tay, me say tay, me say tay, me say tay
Me say tay, me say tay O
(Daylight come and me wan' go home
