Yellow Bird

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
