Lyrics from the Harry Belafonte's Version
Day-o, day-ay-ay-o Daylight come and me wan' go home 
Day-o, day-ay-ay-o Daylight come and me wan' go home

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

Come, Mister tally man, tally me banana 
Daylight come and me wan' go home 
Come, Mister tally man, tally me banana 
Daylight come and me wan' go home 
Lift six foot, seven foot, eight foot bunch 
Daylight come and me wan' go home 
Six foot, seven foot, eight foot bunch 
Daylight come and me wan' go home

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

Beautiful bunch of ripe banana Daylight come and me wan' go home 
Hide the deadly black tarantula Daylight come and me wan' go home

Lift six foot, seven foot, eight foot bunch

Daylight come and me wan' go home 
Six foot, seven foot, eight foot bunch 
Daylight come and me wan' go home

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

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

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