Banana Boat Song Lyrics

Day-o, day-o
Daylight come and I wanna go home
Day-o, day-o, yeah
Daylight come and I wanna go home (sing)

Work in the Banana Boat all day long, yeah
Daylight come and I wanna go home
Six foot, seven foot, eight foot bunch
Daylight come and I wanna go home

Day-o (day-o)
Daylight come and I wanna go home

Thank you very much, lighters
Thank you, a big round of applause for mister Mike Cotton on the trumpet
Let′s hear for Mike on the trumpet
Davy Jones on clarinet
And John Beecham, trombone, yes, come on

Oh, it's terrible (I need you), thank you
So lovely to be wanted, ah
A room with a view and you, ha
