ttto The Banana Boat Song (Day-O)
[Intro:]
Cha-os, cha-os,
Chaos rule and I wanna lie down.
Welcome into my happy home.
(Chaos rule and I wanna lie down.)
Careful, don't trip over de phone!
(Chaos rule and I wanna lie down.)
[CHORUS (2x):]
Cha-os, cha-os,
Chaos rule and I wanna lie down.
Come into de living room, grab a chair
(Chaos rule...)
As soon as I clear off de underwear.
(Chaos rule...)
A cold 7-Up is very nice.
Jus' ignore de green peas in de ice.
Everyt'ing here has its own spot.
And dat's exactly where it's not.
Come, Mr. Garbageman, carry off me garbage,
(I got) six bag, seven bag, eight bag, dump!
De bed in de kitchen, de fridge in de hall,
But de toilet on de lawn is de worst of all!
[getting faster and more and more tongue-tangled; improvise]
Cha-os, me say kay me say kay mesay kay mesaykmeskksayamae mesekase asoa o kay o kay okay okay o CHA-OS!
[pause for breath; slow, exhausted]
Chaos rule and I wanna lie down.
