Day o,
Day-ay-ay-o.
Say daylight come an' me wanna go home.
Daylight come an' me wanna go home.
Daylight come an' me wanna go home.
Daylight come an' me wanna go home.

Hey Mr. Tallyman, come tally me banana.
Say, daylight come an' me wanna go home.
All you people come an' play on the piano.
Daylight come an' me wanna go home.

Let's Do It!

All right.

Whoah, listen to a story 'bout a man named Jed.
A poor mountain hillbilly, he kept his family fed.
And then one day, he was shootin' at some food,
An' up through the ground come a bubblin' crude.
(A bub-bub-bubblin' crude.)
Bub-bub-bub-bubblin' crude.

We-we-well, the first thing you know, old Jed's a millionaire.
The kinfolk said: "Jed, move away from there."
He said: "California is the place you oughta be."
So they loaded up the truck and they moved to Beverly.
(B-B-B-Beverly.)
B-B-B-Beverly.
Instrumental Break.

I said hip hop hip hip hippity hip hip hop,
You don't stop rockin' to the bang bang boogie,
Sit up, jump the boogie to the rythmn of the boogie to be.
I said what you hear is not on text, I'm a rappin' to the beat.

I said ah yeah, wonderland,
I brought two friends along.
And next on the mop is my mate Hank,
C'mon Hank, sing that song.
Check it out.
Well I'm a CAS and an OVA,
And the rest is FLY.
You see I go by the name of gastronomic,
For these reasons, I'll tell you why.
I said hotel, motel, Holiday Inn.
I said if your brush got zapped enough
Then you take your friend.
