Yellow bird up high in banana tree
Yellow bird you sit all alone like me
Did you lady friend leave the nest again
That is very sad makes me feel so bad
You can fly away in the sky away
You're luckier than me
I once had a pretty girl she's not with me today
They're all the same them pretty girls
Take tenderness and then they fly away
Yellow bird up high in banana tree
Yellow bird you sit all alone like me
Did you lady friend leave the nest again
That is very sad makes me feel so bad
You can fly away in the sky away
You're luckier than me
Wish that I was a yellow bird I'd fly away with you
But I'm 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
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
They might pick you someday
Yellow bird
Yellow bird
Yellow bird
