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)
