The Lyrics

Ok, this WILL create contraversy, but bear with me that this is in no way, shape, or form what I think of the Spanish people. I am not racist, so please don't hate me. Also, the INS are the people who watch over all the national security things, and the verses "Pass out green cards and then come home" are referring to the soldiers guarding the borders who accept bribes from the illegal immagrants and give them free passports. And the lines toward the bottom about beating up the people and stealing their drugs is a stereotype, as most everything in this parody is. Sorry about all that, enjoy the parody!
Day-o, Day-o
Pass out green cards and then come home
Day, me say day, me say day, me say day, me say day, me say day-o
Pass out green cards and then come home
Watch all night and illegals come!
(Pass out green cards and then come home)
Build the fences 'till the morning come!
(Pass out green cards and then come home)
Come Mr. Army man, arm yourself with knowledge
(Learn their language "cause they're in your home)
Come Mr. Army man, arm yourself with knowledge
(Learn their language "cause they're in your home)
Fit 6 guys, 7 guys, in one car!
(Labor's good but you gotta go home)
6 guys, 7 guys, in one car!
(Labor's good but you gotta go home)
Day, me say day-o
(Pass out green cards and then come home)
Day, me say day, me say day, me say day, me say day, me say day-o
(Pass out green cards and then come home)
A beautiful bunch, a' pure Latinos!
(Takes just one to send them all back home)
Kill thee deadly, I-N-S foes!
(IRS is gonna rob them homes)
Hide 6 bag, 7 bag, weed in trunk!
(Beat them up, throw them of the road)
6 bag, 7 bag, crack with spunk!
(Get the goods "fore the real cops come)
Day, me say day-o
(Pass out green cards and then come home)
Day, me say day, me say day, me say day, me say day, me say day-o
(Learn their language "cause thy're in your home)
Come Mr. President, tell "em you mean business
(IRS is gonna rob them homes)
Come all Americans, we just want your poor jobs
We just realized your people too
Day, me say day, me say day, me say day, me say day, me say day-o
(Just make sure that your registered)

I was the original performer of this song, not Traditional. I wish people would do their research if they're not sure who the original performer is.

Actually, if u do YOUR reasearch, it says that this song was originally created by Jamaicans after world war 2, and sung by the banana boat ship loaders, Harry Belafonte did indeed perform this song, but he is not the 'original' perfromer, cause the real original performers were the banana boat ship loaders. Great parody btw!
