Bananaboat-Song (H. Belafonte)
Day-o, day-o ... is that day-o ...
Daylight come and we want to go home...
Work all night on a drink of rum.
Day-o, day-o ... is that day-o ...
Daylight come and we want to go home...
Stop banana till the morning come.
Day-o, day-o ... is that day-o ...
Daylight come and we want to go home...
Come, Mister Tallyman, tally me bananas.
Day-o, day-o ... is that day-o ...
Daylight come and we want to go home...
Heave six foot, seven foot, eight foot bunch.
Day-o, day-o ... is that day-o ...
Daylight come and we want to go home...
A beautiful bunch of ripe banana ...
Day-o, day-o ... is that day-o ...
Daylight come and we want to go home...
... hide the deadly black tarantula.
