The Banana Boat Song
is a traditional Jamaican folk song,[1] the best-known version of which was sung by Harry Belafonte and is the most well-known calypso. It is a song from the point of view of dock workers working the night shift loading bananas onto ships. Daylight has come, the shift is over and they want their work to be counted up so that they can go home (this is the meaning of the lyric "Come, Mr. Tally Man, tally me banana/ Daylight come and we wanna go home.")
Belafonte's debut television performance of the song was on the TV series The Muppet Show.

Day, me say day, me say day, me say day...
Daylight come and me wan' go home
A beautiful bunch o' ripe banana

Six foot, seven foot, eight foot bunch

Ε, δεν πειράζει να γυρίζουμε κάπου κάπου. :-)
Πάντως, εδώ έχουμε ένα θρυλικό τραγούδι. Είναι κι αυτό το βελούδο της φωνής του Μπελαφόντε...
