    Fig 3 ... Banana Boat song lyrics

    Day-o, Day-aaay-aaay-o
    Daylight come and me wanna 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 wanna go home

    Work all night on a drink a' rum
    Daylight come and me wan' go home
    Stack banana till the mornin' 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

    It's 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

    A beautiful bunch a' ripe banana
    Daylight come and me wan' go home
    Hide the deadly black tarantula
    Daylight come and me wan' go home

    It's 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
    Me say day, me say day-ay-ay-o
    Daylight come and me wan' go home
