Intro
Chorus
Yellow bird, up high in banana tree.
Yellow bird, you sit all alone like me.
Did your 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 more lucky than me.
I also have a pretty girl, she's not with me, today.
They're all the same, the pretty girls..make them the nest..
then they fly away.
Chorus
Yellow bird, up high in banana tree.
Yellow bird, you sit all alone like me.
Better fly away, in the sky away.
Picker coming soon, pick from night to noon.
Black on yellow, you, like banana, too.
They 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.
Outro
Yellow bird..yellow bird..yellow bird..
yellow bird..yellow bird..(Fade.)
