Lyrics


"The music is all around, 
 Everything becomes greater with the rythm
 The rythm gives you form
 Form brings victory
 With form victory is no longer important."
       -Brutal - Paws of Fury - Tao, "The Music"

Well, two of 'em... Harry Belafonte never sounded as good as in that movie! :)
My dad's a pretty big Belafonte fan, and I've been pretty familar with the songs,
and was quite surprised, but delighted, to see them in a movie.


======================
DAY-O

(Words and Music by Harry Belafonte, 
Lord Burgess, and Bill Attaway)

Day-o, day-ay-ay-o 
Daylight come and he wan' go home 
Day, he say day, he say day, he say day, he say day, he say day-ay-ay-o 
Daylight come and he wan' go home

(Daylight come and he wan' go home) 

A beautiful bunch a'ripe banana 
(Daylight come and he wan' go home) 
Hide thee deadly black tarantula 
(Daylight come and he wan' go home) 

It's six foot, seven foot, eight foot, BUNCH! 
(Daylight come and he wan' go home) 
Six foot, seven foot, eight foot, BUNCH!
