=======================================
Day O Day ay ay O
Daylight come and me want 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 want go home
Work all night on a drink a rum uh
Stack banana till the morning come uh
Come, Mister tally man
tally me banana
Come, Mister tally man
tally me banana
It's six foot, seven foot,
eight foot bunch
Six foot, seven foot,
eight foot bunch
Day
me say day ay ay O
Day, me say day,
me say day, me say day
me say day, me say day
A beautiful bunch
a ripe banana
Hide the deadly
black tarantula
It's six foot, seven foot,
eight foot bunch
Six foot, seven foot,
eight foot bunch
Day
me say day ay ay O
Day, me say day,
me say day, me say day
me say day, me say day
Come, Mister tally man,
tally me banana
Come, Mister tally man,
tally me banana
Day O
day ay ay O
Day, me say day,
me say day, me say day
Me say day, me say day ay ay O
