#116. Be-To (pronounced Bay-Toe)

Greg Abbott (R-TX) has already launched plans to run for a second term as the Governor of Texas.  I believe it's a virtual certainty that Beto O'Rourke, assuming he wins the Democratic primary, will challenge Abbott in 2022.  

Since I already wrote a derogatory parody about Abbott, I figured I'd better write a song about Beto as well.  Naturally, my song about O'Rourke is a little less caustic and biting.


Be-to (pronounced Bay-Toe)

Day-O
Harry Belafonte

Day-o, day-o
Daylight come and we want go home
Day, is a day, is a day, is a day, is a day, is a day-o
Daylight come and we want go home.

Work all night on a drink of rum
(Daylight come and we want go home)
Stack banana 'til the morning come
(Daylight come and we want go home)

Come Mister tally man, tally me banana
(Daylight come and we want go home)
Come Mister tally man, tally me banana
(Daylight come and we want go home)

Lift six foot, seven foot, eight foot bunch
(Daylight come and we want go home)
Six foot, seven foot, eight foot bunch
(Daylight come and we want go home)

Day, is a day-o
(Daylight come and we want go home)
Day, is a day, is a day, is a day, is a day, is a day-o
(Daylight come and we want go home)

A beautiful bunch of ripe banana
(Daylight come and we want go home)
Hide the deadly black tarantula
(Daylight come and we want go home)

Lift six foot, seven foot, eight foot bunch
(Daylight come and we want go home)
Six foot, seven foot, eight foot bunch
(Daylight come and we want go home)

Day, is a day-o
(Daylight come and we want go home)
Day, is a day, is a day, is a day, is a day, is a day-o
(Daylight come and we want go home)

Come Mister tally man, tally me banana
(Daylight come and we want go home)
Come Mister tally man, tally me banana
(Daylight come and we want go home)

Day-o, day-o
(Daylight come and we want go home)
Day, is a day, is a day, is a day, is a day, is a day-o
(Daylight come and we want go home)




From what I understand, Harry Belafonte was quite the Democratic political activist.  He's currently 93 years old.  Still, if he feels like coming out of retirement, may I suggest a performance of my Banana Boat parody.  Could be just what it takes to turn Texas blue.  And just for the record, yeah I know, I had to eliminate the "O'" prefix in O'Rourke. 

Please do not share this information with Beto O' Rourke (D-TX), Governor Greg Abbott (R-TX), Wang Chung fans, Bananarama advocates, Melania Trump, Taliban supporters, and/or family members and relatives of Harry Belafonte.
