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

Make me feel so bad

You can fly away

In the sky away

You more lucky than me

I also have a pretty man

He not with me today

They all the same

The pretty men

Make them the nest

Then they fly away

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 too

Like banana too

They 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, nothing else to do

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

Make me feel so bad

You can fly away

In the sky away

You're more lucky than me

Yellow bird

Yellow bird

Yellow bird
