Tally Me Banana Song Lyrics by Harry Belafonte
Day-o, day-o
Daylight come and we want go home Day, is a day, is a day, is a day, is a day, is a day-o Daylight come and we want go homeWork all night on a drink of rum
(Daylight come and we want go home) Stack banana ’til the morning come (Daylight come and we want go home)Come Mister tally man, tally me banana
(Daylight come and we want go home) Come Mister tally man, tally me banana (Daylight come and we want go home)Lift six foot, seven foot, eight foot bunch
(Daylight come and we want go home) Six foot, seven foot, eight foot bunch (Daylight come and we want go home)Day, is a day-o
(Daylight come and we want go home) Day, is a day, is a day, is a day, is a day, is a day-o (Daylight come and we want go home)A beautiful bunch of ripe banana
(Daylight come and we want go home) Hide the deadly black tarantula (Daylight come and we want go home)Lift six foot, seven foot, eight foot bunch
(Daylight come and we want go home) Six foot, seven foot, eight foot bunch (Daylight come and we want go home)Day, is a day-o
(Daylight come and we want go home) Day, is a day, is a day, is a day, is a day, is a day-o (Daylight come and we want go home)Come Mister tally man, tally me banana
(Daylight come and we want go home) Come Mister tally man, tally me banana (Daylight come and we want go home)Day-o, day-o
(Daylight come and we want go home) Day, is a day, is a day, is a day, is a day, is a day-o (Daylight come and we want go home)
