Day-o, day-o
Daylight come and me wan' go home
Day, day, me say day, me say day, me say day
Me say day, me say day-o
Daylight come and me wan' go home

Work all night on a drink a rum
Stack banana till the mornin' come

Oh, come, Mister tally man, tally me banana
Daylight come and me wan' go home
Me say come, Mister tally man, tally me banana
Daylight come and me wan' go home

An' it's six hand, seven hand, eight hand bunch
Daylight come and me wan' go home
Six hand, seven hand, eight hand bunch
Daylight come and me wan' go home

Day, me say day-o
Daylight come and me wan' go home
Day, me say 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
(Daylight come and me wan' go home)
Day, me say day-o
Daylight come and me wan' go home

A beautiful bunch, a ripe banana
(Daylight come and)
(Daylight come and me wan' go home)
Highly deadly black tarantula
(Daylight come and)
(Daylight come and me wan' go home)

Oh, come, Mister tally man, tally me banana
Me say, come, Mister tally man, tally me banana

An' it's six hand, seven hand, eight hand bunch
Daylight come and me wan' go home
Six hand, seven hand, eight hand bunch
Daylight come and me wan' go home

Day, me say day-o
Daylight come and me wan' go home
Day, me say 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
(Daylight come and me wan' go home)
Day, me say day-o
Daylight come and me wan' go home

Daylight come and me wan' go home
Daylight come and me wan' go home
Daylight come and me wan' go home

Daylight come, me wan' go
Daylight come, me wan' go
Daylight come, me wan' go
Daylight come, me wan' go
Daylight come, me wan' go

Daylight come, me wan' go
Daylight come, me wan' go
Daylight come, me wan' go

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

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

Daylight daylight, me wan' go
Daylight daylight, me wan' go
Daylight come, me wan' go
Daylight come, me wan' go

Daylight daylight, me wan' go
Daylight daylight, me wan' go
Daylight come, me wan' go home
Daylight come, me wan' go home

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

An' it's six hand, seven hand, eight hand bunch
Daylight come and me wan' go home
Six hand, seven hand, eight hand bunch
Daylight come and me wan' go home
