Day-o, day-o!
Daylight come and me wan' go home
Day, me say day, me say day, me say day
Me say day, me say day-o
Daylight come and me wan' go home (fine)
Work all night on a drink of rum
Daylight come and me wan' go home
Stack banana till de morning come
Daylight come and me wan' go home.

Daylight come and me wan' go home :|

A beautiful bunch o' ripe banana

Hide the deadly black tarantula

Daylight come and me wan' go home
Day, me say day, me say day, me say day
Daylight come and me wan' go home.
