Yellow bird way up in banana tree Yellow bird you sit all alone like me Did you 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 those pretty girls They make a nest then they fly away Yellow bird way up in banana tree... [ guitar ] Wish that I were a yellow bird I'd fly away with you But I am not a yellow bird so here I sit got nothing I can do Yellow bird way up in banana tree... (Yellow bird) you're more lucky than me (Yellow bird) you're more lucky than me (Yellow bird)
