BANANA BOAT +E

Harry Belafonte (1957)

(E B E)

Day-o, day-ay-ay-o

Daylight come and me wan' go home

Day, he say day, he say day ... he say day-ay-ay-o

Daylight come and me wan' go home


Work all night on a drink a'rum

Stack banana till the morning come


Come, Mr. Tally Mon, tally me banana (bis)


Six foot, seven foot, eight foot, BUNCH! (bis)


Day, he say day-ay-ay-o

Day, he say day, he say day, he say day, (FADE)


A beautiful bunch, a'ripe banana

Hide the deadly black tarantula


Six foot, seven foot, eight foot, BUNCH! (bis)


Day, he say day-ay-ay-o

Day, he say day, he say day, he say day, (FADE)


Come, Mr. Tally Mon, tally me banana (bis)


Day-o, day-ay-ay-o

Daylight come and me wan' go home

Day, he say day, he say day ... he say day-ay-ay-o

Daylight come and me wan' go home
