Daylight Come, Monkeys Go Home

WORK ALL NIGHT DAYLIGHT COME AND ME WAN' GO HOME TALLY ME BANANA LIFT 6 FOOT 7 FOOT 8 FOOT BUNCH 6 FOOT 7 FOOT 8 FOOT BUNCH

A chimpanzee works at a desk through the night, then a costumed figure walks around singing about daylight and going home. The clip cuts to chimpanzees counting and handling bananas, matching the lyrics “Day-O (The Banana Boat Song)” by Harry Belafonte, before returning to the walking figure. The joke is that exhausting work, banana counting, and the desire to leave are acted out literally, making it a goofy reaction to finishing a long shift.
