Lyrics:
(William Attaway/Irving Burgie/Bernard Edwards/Paul Henning/Nile Rogers)
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
Whoah, listen to a story 'bout a man named Jed

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

Say, daylight come an' me wanna go home
All you people come an' play on the piano
Daylight come an' me wanna go home
