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

Day, me say DAY, me say day, me say DAY Me say DAY, me say DAY-ay-ay-o

Daylight come and me wan' go home

Work all night on a drink a' rum Daylight come and me wan' go home

Stack banana till the mornin' come Daylight come and me wan' go home

Come, Mister tally man, tally me banana Daylight come and me wan' go home (X2)

It's six foot, seven foot, eight foot BUNCH! Daylight come and me wan' go home (X2)

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

Day, me say day, me say day, me say day... (fade)

Daylight come and me wan' go home

A beautiful bunch o' ripe banana Daylight come and me wan' go home

Hide the deadly black tarantula Daylight come and me wan' go home

(GO BACK TO:) "Come Mister Mister tally man, tally me banana"

(EVENTUALLY, END ON:) (slowly) "Daylight come and me wan' go home"
