Banana Boat (Day-O) lyrics
Songwriters: Attaway, William; Burgie, Irving
Day oh, day oh
(Till I come and me wanna go home)
Day is a day, is a day, is a day, is a day, is a day oh
(Till I come and me wanna go home)
Work all night, gonna drink our rum
(Till I come and me wanna go home)
Stack banana till the morning come
(Till I come and me wanna go home)
Come Mister Tally Man, tally me banana
(Till I come and me wanna go home)
Come Mister Tally Man, tally me banana
(Till I come and me wanna go home)
Lift six foot, seven foot, eight foot bunch
(Till I come and me wanna go home)
Six foot, seven foot, eight foot bunch
(Till I come and me wanna go home)
Day is a day oh
(Till I come and me wanna go home)
Day is a day, is a day, is a day, is a day
(Till I come and me wanna go home)
A beautiful bunch, a ripe banana
(Till I come and me wanna go home)
I seek deadly lacked a launch-ra
(Till I come and me wanna go home)
Lift six foot, seven foot, eight foot bunch
(Till I come and me wanna go home)
Six foot, seven foot, eight foot bunch
(Till I come and me wanna go home)
Day is a day oh
(Till I come and me wanna go home)
Day is a day, is a day, is a day, is a day
(Till I come and me wanna go home)
Come Mister Tally Man, tally me banana
(Till I come and me wanna go home)
Come Mister Tally Man, tally me banana
(Till I come and me wanna go home)
Day oh, day oh
(Till I come and me wanna go home)
Day is a day, is a day, is a day, is a day, is a day oh
(Till I come and me wanna go home)
