Yellow bird,
Up high in banana tree,
Yellow bird,
You sit all alone like me [CHORUS]
Did your lady frien',
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 have a pretty girl,
She's not with me today,
There're all the same
That pretty girl,
Take them the nest,
Then they fly away.
Let her fly away,
In the sky away,
Pick the town then 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 fly away with you,
But I am not a yellow bird,
So here I sit,
Nothin' else to do
