The Banana Boat Song Lyrics & Chords By Robyn Hitchcock And The Egyptians

Day-o, day-ay-ay-o
(Daylight come and he wan' go home)
Day-o, day-ay-ay-o
(Daylight come and he wan' go home)

Work all night on a drink of rum
(Daylight come and he wan' go home)
Stack banana till thee morning come
(Daylight come and he wan' go home)

It's six foot, seven foot, eight foot, bunch!
(Daylight come and he wan' go home)
Stagger back and he have some lunch
(Daylight come and he wan' go home)

Day-o, day-ay-ay-o
(Daylight come and he wan' go home)
Day-o, day-ay-ay-o
(Daylight come and he wan' go home)

A beautiful bunch of ripe banana
(Daylight come and he wan' go home)
Hide thee deadly black tarantula
(Daylight come and he wan' go home)

Day-o, day-ay-ay-o
(Daylight come and he wan' go home)
Day-o, day-ay-ay-o
(Daylight come and he wan' go home)

Day-o, he say day, he say day, he say day,
He say day, he say day-o
(Daylight come and he wan' go home)
