Harold George "Harry" Belafonte, (born March 1, 1927), is an American musician, actor and social activist. One of the most successful popular singers in history, he was dubbed the "King of Calypso," a title which he was very reluctant to accept (according to the documentary Calypso Dreams) for popularizing the Caribbean musical style with an international audience in the 1950s. Belafonte is perhaps best known for singing the "Banana Boat Song", with its signature lyric "Day-O". Throughout his career, he has been an advocate for civil rights and humanitarian causes. He was a vocal critic of the policies of the Bush Administration.

Here come de banana boats man:

Hey Mr.Tally man, tally me banana
Daylight come and me wanna go home"
Day-o, day ay ay ay e-o
Daylight come and me want go home.

Chop banana til the morning come.
Daylight come and me wanna go home"
A beautiful bunch of ripe banana,
Daylight come and me wanna go home"
Hide the deadly black tarantula,
Daylight come and me wanna go home"

Day-mize ray mize ray mize ray ay o,
Daylight come and me want go home.

Come mister tally man, tally me banana,
Daylight come and me want go home.
I pack up all me things and I go to sea,
Daylight come and me want go home.
Then all these banana see the last of me.
Daylight come and me want go home.

Day-mize ray mize ray mize ray ay o,
Daylight come and me want go home

Today this beautiful Mail Art Card arrived from Italy. It seems that Tourists and Post boats don’t leave this beach very often. The card was sent at the 26th of august (??). I would like to give a new title: “Waiting for banana boats”. Thank you very much Anna Maria.
