Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Day-O, I say day-O
Daylight's comin' and I wanna go home
Day-O, I say day-O
Daylight's comin' and I wanna go home
[Verse 2]
Work all night till the morning comes
Daylight's comin' and I wanna go home
Stack bananas till the morning comes
Daylight's comin' and I wanna go home
[Verse 3]
Come, Mr. Tallyman, tally my bananas
Daylight's comin' and I wanna go home
Come, Mr. Tallyman, tally my bananas
Daylight's comin' and I wanna go home
[Verse 4]
Day-O, I say day-O
Daylight's comin' and I wanna go home
Day-O, I say day-O
Daylight's comin' and I wanna go home
[Verse 5]
A beautiful bunch of ripe bananas
Daylight's comin' and I wanna go home
Six hand, seven hand, eight hand, bunch
Daylight's comin' and I wanna go home
[Verse 6]
Come, Mr. Tallyman, tally my bananas
Daylight's comin' and I wanna go home
Come, Mr. Tallyman, tally my bananas
Daylight's comin' and I wanna go home
[Verse 7]
Day-O, I say day-O
Daylight's comin' and I wanna go home
Day-O, I say day-O
Daylight's comin' and I wanna go home, oh
Day-O, I say day-O
Daylight's comin' and I wanna go home
Day-O, I say day-O
Daylight's comin' and I wanna go home
Daylight's comin' and I wanna go home
Daylight's comin' and I wanna go home
[Verse 8]
Now it's time to rise and shine
Brush my teeth and tie my shoes
The day has come, it's time to run
Hug the day and meet the sun
