Banana Boat Song

I was first made aware of this song through the film Beatlejuice. The main characters took possession of some 'unwanted' guests and made them sing/dance to the song. Over 20 years later a colleague reminded me of the song and here we are.

  

It has few chords
C - 0003
F - 2010
G - 0232
G7 - 0212

and relies mainly on the calypso strumming pattern

down, down, up, up, down, up 
Anyway, take a look at the sheet below and watch the tutorial by Ukulele Mike. He'll explain it all far better than I can.
 
Here's Mike
