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
They tend 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 and yellow you, like banana too
They might pick you some day
Wish that I were a yellow bird I fly away with you
But I am not a yellow bird
So here I sit, nothing else to do
Yellow bird, yellow bird, yellow bird
