Day-O
Day-O, otherwise known as The Banana Boat Song, is a traditional folk song from the Caribbean, and has been performed quite a few times by various singers, with probably the most famous recorded version being that of Harry Belafonte. Samuel E. Wright sings the song as Sebastian for the "Sebastian from The Little Mermaid" album, and Jodi Benson as Ariel provides supporting vocals. The following lyrics were provided by Rob.
