Banana Boat (Day-O)
Day-o, day-o
Daylight come and me wan go home
Day
(Man, I'm gonna have to ask you not to shout like that)
Well (It's like right in my ear)
It goes with the song
(Yeah, but don't holler In my ear, man)
Well, it's authentic Calypso
(Yeah, but try standing next to me, man)
Well, the shout go
With the bongo drum
(Not my bongo drums, man I mean, move away)
Well, I don't see why

Well, you ruined the whole
(Piercing) record is what you did
(Yeah, well, tough I'll take my bongos and go, man
Cause the whole is like bugging me, anyhow)
Yeah, well, wait a minute I won't shout (no, man)

Daylight come and me wan go home
Hide the deadly black tarantula
Daylight come and me wan go home
(No, man, don't sing about piders, I mean, like I don't dig spiders)
Well, that's how the song goes
