Stan Freberg lyrics : "Banana Boat"

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 dayo, 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 dayo (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, dayo
(Too loud, man)

Okay, dayo (too loud, man)
(I can still hear you
Would you mind leaving the room)
Okay *footsteps leaving*
Day, me say dayo (crazy)

*footsteps entering*
Daylight come and
Me wan go home
*footsteps leaving*
Day, me say dayo

*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)
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 dayo
*knocking*
Hey, I locked myself out
(Crazy) *window breaks*
I come through the window (yeah)
Daylight come and

Me wan go home
