Yellow Bird

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're more lucky than me

I also had a pretty girl

She's not with me today

They're all the same, the pretty girls

Take tenderness, then they fly away

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, pick from night to noon

Black and 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, nothin' else to do

Yellow bird

Yellow bird

Yellow bird
