Lyrics
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 more lucky than me
I also have a pretty girl
She's not with me today
They are the same, the pretty girls
Take ten dollars, then they fly away
Yellow bird
Up high in banana tree
Yellow bird
You sit all alone like me
You can fly away
In the sky away
Pick up time and soon
Fly from night to noon
Black and yellow you
Like banana too
They might pick you some day
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
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 more lucky than me
Yellow bird
Up high in banana tree
Yellow bird
You sit all alone like me
You can fly away
In the sky away
Pick up time and soon
Fly from night to noon
Black and yellow you
Like banana too
They might pick you some day
Yellow bird
Up high in banana tree
Yellow bird
You sit all alone like me
Yellow bird
Up high in banana tree
