Day-O (The Banana Boat Song) [Act I Finale]

[A glass clinks.]

[DELIA, spoken]
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!

[MAXIE, spoken]
What?

[LYDIA, spoken]
What's goin' on, Delia? Are you all right?

[DELIA, spoken]
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!

[CHARLES, spoken]
Delia? Do you need to lie down?

[DELIA, spoken]
No! No, I just need to—

(sung)
Daylight come and me wan' go home

[DELIA gasps dramatically.]

(spoken)
What is happening to me?

[CHARLES, spoken]
Maxie!

[MAXIE, spoken]
Yes?

[CHARLES, spoken]
On behalf of Delia and myself, I'd just like to say—

(sung)
Work all night on a drink of rum

[ALL, excluding LYDIA]

[DELIA]
Stack banana till the morning come, brrah!

[CHARLES, spoken]
Lydia! Call 9-1-1! Wait, why aren't you dancing?

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

Barbara, the pig!

[BARBARA, spoken]
Who wants bacon?

[DELIA, spoken]
No! No! I'm a vegan!

[CHARLES]
A beautiful bunch of ripe banana

[ALL, excluding LYDIA]

[MAXINE]

[CHARLES, spoken]
Maxie! Please, forgive me! If I had known—

[MAXIE, spoken]
Chuck, you moron! Don't apologize! We're gonna be rich!

[CHARLES, spoken]
What?

[LYDIA, spoken]
What?

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

[LYDIA, spoken]
No!

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

[LYDIA, spoken]
No, you're supposed to be scared!

[ADAM, spoken]
Lydia, we're so sorry! It didn't work.

[LYDIA, spoken]
There's one thing that can still stop him.

[BARBARA, spoken]
Lydia, no, you don't know what will happen.

[LYDIA, spoken]
I can't keep living like this!
Betelgeuse!

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

[LYDIA, spoken]
Betelgeuse...

[BETELGEUSE, spoken]
We are gonna make such a great team! Give me just one... more...

[LYDIA, spoken]
Betelgeuse!

[BETELGEUSE, spoken]
It's showtime!

[Instrumental with screams layered as BETELGEUSE is unleashed.]

[BETELGEUSE, spoken]
It's our house now, kid!

[LYDIA, spoken]
Whoa...

[BETELGEUSE, spoken]
Looks like we're not invisible anymore!
