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 more lucky than me I also have a pretty girl She not with me today They’re all the same the pretty girls Make them the nest then they fly away 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
