Lyrics

Business friends: I have only known this amazing, amazing man and his unique daughter for a few months—I don't even know how many, I'd have to check my pay stubs!—but, as my guru Otho always says—

(sung)
Day-O!

What?

What's goin' on, Delia? Are you all right?

Um, heh heh, uh... I am so sorry, I don't... I don't know what just happened. I meant to say—

(sung)
Me say day, me say day, me say day, me say day, me say day-o!

Delia? Do you need to lie down?

No! No, I just need to—
(sung)
Daylight come and me wan' go home

(spoken)
What is happening to me?

Maxie!

Yes?

On behalf of Delia and myself, I'd just like to say—

(sung)
Work all night on a drink of rum

Daylight come and me wanna go home

Stack banana till the morning come, brrah!
Daylight come and me wan' go home
Day, me say day-o
Daylight come and me wan' go home

Come mister tally man, tally me banana

Daylight come and me wan' go home

Come mister tally man, tally me banana

Daylight come and me wan' go home

Lydia! Call 9-1-1! Wait, why aren't you dancing?

It's like I told you, Dad: This house is haunted and the ghosts who live here... want you out!

Barbara, the pig!

Who wants bacon?
No! No! I'm a vegan!

A beautiful bunch of ripe banana

Daylight come and me wan' go home

Hide the deadly black tarantula

Daylight come and me wan' go home

Lift six foot, seven foot, eight foot bunch
Daylight come and me wan' go home
Six foot, seven foot, eight foot bunch
Daylight come and me wan' go home

Maxie! Please, forgive me! If I had known—

Chuck, you moron! Don't apologize! We're gonna be rich!

What?

I was never gonna invest in your stupid "gated community." But a genuine haunted house? It's a gold mine!

No!

Do you hear that, Delia? These ghosts are gonna make us a fortune!

No, you're supposed to be scared!

Lydia, we're so sorry! It didn't work.

There's one thing that can still stop him.

Lydia, no, you don't know what will happen.

I can't keep living like this!
Betelgeuse!

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy! I'm so glad you changed your mind. You are never gonna regret this!

Betelgeuse...

We are gonna make such a great team! Give me just one... more...

Betelgeuse!

It's showtime!

It's our house now, kid!

Whoa...

Looks like we're not invisible anymore!
