Yellow bird up high in banana tree
Yellow bird you sit all alone like me
Did your lady friend leave your nest again?
That is very sad, makes me feel so bad!
You can fly away in the sky away
You're more luck than me
Yellow bird up high in banana tree
Yellow bird you sit all alone like me
I also had a pretty girl, she's not with me todday
They're all the same the pretty girls
Take tenderness then they fly away
Yellow bird up high in banana tree
Yellow bird you sit all alone like me
Let her fly away in the sky away
Pick a town and soon, take from night to noon
Black and yellow you, like banana too
The might pick you someday
Wish that I were a yellow bird. I'd fly away with you
But I am not a yellow bird
So, here I sit, nothing else to do
Yellow bird
Yellow bird
Yellow bird
