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 bad, Makes me feel so sad
You can fly away, In the sky away
You more lucky than me

I also have a handsome friend
(He not with me today)
They all the same, the handsome friends
Make 'em 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 may pick you some day

Wish that I was a yellow bird
I fly away with you
But I am not a yellow bird
So I sit, nothing else to do
Yellow bird
Yellow bird
Yellow bird
Yellow bird
