Banana Boat (Oomba-Oomba-Oomba) Lyrics

Oomba-oomba-oomba, Banana Boat
Take me, take me far away
Send your boat amigo
And when you float amigo
Float me to the USA
I see big white boat come in today, Si?
I go to boat and I say, Si?
Send your boat amigo
And when you float amigo
Float me to the USA

Oomba-oomba-oomba, Banana Boat
Take me, take me to the USA
Oomba-oomba-oomba, Banana Boat
Things are not so cool in San Jose
I will sell my chickens and my Nanny goat
Then I'll pay you what you say
Send your boat amigo
And when you float amigo
Float me to the USA
How many pesos to New York, please?
You think they like me in New York, please?
I have nice maracas, I shake my maracas
Maybe then they let me stay

If I had a pen I'd write New York a note
Friendly neighbor on her way
Send your boat amigo
And when you float amigo
Float me to the USA

I got the figure to succeed, Si?
And look is guaranteed, Si?
When they want some lovin'
I'll be just like an oven
I have just what Yankee need
Oomba-oomba-oomba, Banana Boat
Take me, take me to the USA
Oomba-oomba-oomba, Banana Boat
Things are not so cool in San Jose
I will sell my chickens and my Nanny goat
Then I'll pay you what you say
Send your boat amigo
And when you float amigo
Float me to the USA

Float me to the USA
Float me to the USA
