Bombed all night by dat Yankee bunch Daylight come and de bombers go home Now dey'll drop some cashew crunch Daylight come and de bombers go home
Day-o, day-o Bad guys hide in dere catacomb Day-o, day-o, 'Til dose bombers have said shalom.
Hey, Mr. Taliban, shoutin' your hosannas Daylight come and de bombers go home You're de Kool-Aid makin' dese Guyanas Daylight come and de bombers go home
Day-o, day-o, Daylight come and de bombers go home Day-o, day-o, Daylight come and de bombers go home.
