Day-O (The Banana Boat Song) Lyrics
Day-o, day-ay-ay-o
La película 🎥
Daylight come and me wan' go home
Day, me say day, me say day, me say day, me say day, me say day-ay-ay-o
Lift six foot, seven foot, eight foot bunch!!!🤟🤟🤟
Daylight come and me wan' go home
Work all night on a drink a rum
Just love this song. Always listen. Amazing. ❤❤
(Daylight come and me wan' go home)
Stack banana 'til the mornin' come
💚💚🌄
(Daylight come and me wan' go home)
Come, mister tally man, tally me banana
My grandpa played this on a casseette
(Daylight come and me wan' go home)
Come, mister tally man, tally me banana
Guys help me. I'm singing and dancing this song without my consent... I think i'm possessed.
(Daylight come and me wan' go home)
Lift six foot, seven foot, eight foot, bunch
Good music never get old.
(Daylight come and me wan' go home)
Six foot, seven foot, eight foot, bunch
My favorite song from childhood ❤
(Daylight come and me wan' go home)
Day, me say day-ay-ay-o
I first time listen this song from the legendary singers while they are making the song We are the world
(Daylight come and me wan' go home)
Day, me say day, me say day, me say day, me say day, me say day
I think of the beetle juice scene
(Daylight come and me wan' go home)
A beautiful bunch of ripe banana
I always loved this song and am so pleased to be able to see all of the lyrics. It was this particular song that prompted me to research the whole slaving culture and it curdled my blood.❤
(Daylight come and me wan' go home)
Hide the deadly black tarantula
R.I.P MR BELAFONTE !✝DAYO ,DAY LIGHT COME AND WE WANNA GO HOME!
(Daylight come and me wan' go home)
Lift six foot, seven foot, eight foot, bunch
I always thought it was "THEO".
(Daylight come and me wan' go home)
Six foot, seven foot, eight foot, bunch
The most famous anticolonial song. The perfect description of United Fruit Company and USA activities. F..em both 😂
Belafonte was such a great righteous man.
(Daylight come and me wan' go home)
Day, me say day-ay-ay-o
Stupendo e anco oggi inimitabile😇🤗
(Daylight come and me wan' go home)
Day, me say day, me say day, me say day, me say day, me say day
In "The Muppet Show," Harry Belafonte performed this song and told Fozzie that this was his first time performing it on television. He also explained that a tallyman is someone who tallies or counts the bananas.
(Daylight come and me wan' go home)
Come, mister tally man, tally me banana

(Daylight come and me wan' go home)
Come, mister tally man, tally me banana
I love the Ethiopians 😊 🦄 they make good sense!
(Daylight come and me wan' go home)
Day-o, day-ay-ay-o
I used to play laud just the first part( I lived in apartments building in Romania) , and after 10 min, a voice was screaming “ asshole, is this the only part that you know”
🤣🤣
(Daylight come and me wan' go home)
Day, me say day, me say day, me say day, me say day, me say day-ay-ay-o
Come Mr taliban 😂
(Daylight come and an' go home)

@rowanholt5324Thank you Mr. Harry Belafonte for sharing your beautiful voice to us .....

I will never get tired of this man. He brought me great joy no matter what he was doing and he could just about do it all.
He's someone that should be highlighted more in black history for his accomplishments, activism and wide stretch career from music to acting and everything between.
His close friendship with MLK Jr. should at least get him mentioned on MLK day. He helped bring the country together through his music, acting and many other skills.
I just think if you come to listen to his fun music you should know there was so much more to Harry than his music. He lived a very interesting life. One of my favorite Harry moments is when he did a skit on his show with Danny Kaye. They were both extremely talented class clowns. It perfectly demonstrates how Harry used music and comedy to bring very different worlds together.
Have not heard that song in many decades. But I could still sing along. Nice!
