Yellow bird
up high in banana tree
Yellow bird
you sit all alone like me
Did you lady friend
leave the nest again
Oh how very sad
Makes me feel so bad
You can fly away
in the sky away
You're more lucky than me
I also had a pretty girl
She's not with me today
They're all the same
those pretty girls
They leave the nest
then they fly away
Yellow bird
up high in banana tree
Yellow bird
you sit all alone like me
Black and yellow hue
like banana too
You better fly away
in the sky away
Picker comin' soon
He pick from night to noon
He might pick you someday
Wish that I was a yellow bird
I'd fly away with you
But I am not a yellow bird
so here I sit nothin' else to do
Yellow bird
Yellow bird
Yellow bird
