Up high in banana tree
Yellow bird
You sit all alone like me

Did your lady frien'
Leave de nest again?
Dat is very sad
Make me feel so bad
You can fly away, in the sky away
You're more lucky dan me

Yellow bird
Up high in banana tree
Yellow bird
You sit all alone like me

I also have a pretty gal
She not with me today
Dey all de same
De pretty gal
Make dem de nest
Den dey fly away

Yellow bird
Up high in banana tree
Yellow bird
You sit all alone like me

Wish dat 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

Yellow bird
Up high in banana tree
Yellow bird
You sit all alone like me

Let her fly away
On de sky away
Picker coming soon
Pick from night to noon

Black and yellow you
Like banana too
He might pick you someday

Yellow bird
Up high in banana tree
Yellow bird
You sit all alone like me

Up high in banana tree
Yellow bird
