This song wrote itself over a period of a quarter century. A guy I used to work with long ago and I would "Day-O." He would sing a line and we'd sing Day-o, Day-o bread (which of course is a take off of day old bread.) Then I'd make up a line and so on. It was great fun. I took it a big step further with this song but it all had it's genesis long ago. Sing along with me on the Day-O part if you will.

Well I wake up dis morning with a beeg headache (singing day-o, day-o bread)
I lie here in bed and look out at de rain (singing day-o, day-o bread)
Well me either get drunk or me must be insane
there an ugly girl beside me and I don't know her name
Now de sun come up and she won't go away (singing day-o, day-o, day-o bread)


Singing (Day-o, Day-o)
Sing it long ( Day-o, Day-o)
Sing it loud ( Day-o, Day-o)
Sing it proud (day-o, day-o, day-o bread)

Avis my dog, my love never ceases (singing day-o, day-o bread)
She one of de neighborhood favorite beeches (singing day-o, day-o bread)
So I take her to de animal doctor who feexes
No more litters of mongrel meexes
Cause Avis ain't got no feminine pieces (singing day-o, day-o, day-o bread)

Singing (Day-o, Day-o)
Sing it long ( Day-o, Day-o)
Sing it loud ( Day-o, Day-o)
Sing it proud (day-o, day-o, day-o bread)

Oh I could sing Day-o all day long (singing day-o, day-o bread)
I wish dey sing Day-o in every song (singing day-o, day-o bread)
But it hard to get right and it easy get wrong
Cause you got to put de rhyme just where it belong
But I can sing Day-o to de........Vietcong (singing day-o, day-o, day-o bread)


Singing (Day-o, Day-o)
Sing it long ( Day-o, Day-o)
Sing it loud ( Day-o, Day-o)
Sing it proud (day-o, day-o, day-o bread)
