Banana Boat Song Lyrics


Stan Freberg Banana Boat Song


Day-o, day-o Daylight come and Me wan go home

Day, he say.. (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 (No, no, no, stand over Next to the guitar, man)

He sent me over here (Yeah, well, then sing soft, man You know, I mean like, wow)

Ok, day...(It`s too loud, man) Day..(that`s better)

Me say day, me say day Me say day, me say day Me say day-o, daylight come And me wan go home (Yeah, man)

Work all night On a drink of rum Daylight come and Me wan go home

Stack banana til The morning come Daylight come and Me wan go home

Lift six foot, seven foot (Hold it, man) eight foot bunch (Hold it, man)

Daylight come and (Too loud, man) Me wan go home (Too loud)

Lift six foot, seven foot (Hold it, man) eight foot bunch (Hold it, man) Daylight come and Me wan go home (My ears, man, like my ears)

Day..(no, hold it, man) Me say day-o (it`s too shrill, man) (It`s too piercing)

Well, I don`t see why (No, it`s too piercing, man It`s too piercing)

Well, I got to do the shout (No, man, it`s too piercing Like I don`t dig loud noises)

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) (Like I didn`t wanna make This gig in the first place)

Oh, no, wait a minute I`ll be soft (yeah, well) (Then back off from me, man It`s too piercing)

Okay, how`s this, day-o (Too loud, man) Okay, day-o (too loud, man) (I can still hear you Would you mind leaving the room)

Okay *footsteps leaving* Day, me say day-o (crazy) *footsteps entering* Daylight come and Me wan go home

*footsteps leaving* Day, me say day-o *footsteps entering* Daylight come and Me wan go home

A beautiful bunch Of ripe banana 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 Spiders, I mean, like I don`t dig spiders) Lyrics courtesy Top40db.

Well, that`s how the song goes It goes hide the Deadly black tarantula Daylight come and Me wan go home

(Is that it, can I leave now) Not yet, we got a big finish

*footsteps leaving* Me say day, me say day Me say day, me say day Me say day-o

*knocking* Hey, I locked myself out (Crazy) *window breaks*

I come through the window (yeah) Daylight come and Me wan go home
