[D]Day-oh, day-ay-ay-oh.  Daylight come and he[A7] wan� go [D]home
Day, he say day, he say day, he say day, he say day, he say day-ay-ay-o
Daylight come and he[A7] wan� go [D]home


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


Come, Mr. Tally Mon, tally me banana.  (Daylight come and he wan� go home)
Come, Mr. Tally Mon, tally me banana.  (Daylight come and he wan� go home)


It�s six foot, seven foot, eight foot, BUNCH!  (Daylight come and he wan� go home)
Six foot, seven foot, eight foot, BUNCH!       (Daylight come and he wan� go home)


Day!, he say day-ay-ay-oh.  (Daylight come and he wan� go home)
Day!, he say day, he say day, he say day, (FADE) he say day, he say day

(Daylight come and he wan� go home)


A beautiful bunch, a�ripe banana.  (Daylight come and he wan� go home)
Hide thee deadly, black tarantula.  (Daylight come and he wan� go home)


It�s six foot, seven foot, eight foot, BUNCH!  (Daylight come and he wan� go home)
Six foot, seven foot, eight foot, BUNCH!       (Daylight come and he wan� go home)


Day, he say day-ay-ay-oh.  (Daylight come and he wan� go home)
Day, he say day, he say day, he say day, (FADE) he say day, he say day

(Daylight come and he wan� go home)


Come, Mr. Tally Mon, tally me banana.  (Daylight come and he wan� go home)
Come, Mr. Tally Mon, tally me banana.  (Daylight come and he wan� go home)


Day-oh, day-ay-ay-oh.  (Daylight come and he wan� go home)
Day, he say day, he say day, he say day, he say day, he say day-ay-ay-o
[Daylight come and he wan� go home)
