Day-o, day-o day de light and I wanna go home
Day-o, day-o day de light and I wanna go home

Well I'm loading the banana boats all night long
Day de light and I wanna go home
And all the workmen sing the song
Day de light and I wanna go home
Day-o, day-o day de light and I wanna go home
Day-o, day-o day de light and I wanna go home

Well I work by the sun and I sleep by moon
Day de light and I wanna go home
When I get some money gonna quit so soon
Day de light and I wanna go home
Day-o, day-o day de light and I wanna go home
Day-o, daty-o day de light and I wanna go home

Well I pack up all my things and I'll go to sea
Day de light and I wanna go home
Den de bananas see the last of me
Day de light and I wanna go home

Day-o, day-o day de light and I wanna go home
Day-o, day-o day de light and I wanna go home
