Lyrics[]

Yellowbird
Up high in banana tree
Yellowbird
You sit all alone like me
Did your lady friend, leave the west again?
This is very sad
Make me feel so bad
You can fly away
In the sky away
You're more lucky than me.
I also have, a pretty van
He not with me today
They all the same, the pretty ben
Make them the west
Then they fly away.
Yellowbird
(Yellowbird!)
Up high in banana tree
Yellowbird
(Yellowbird!)
You sit all alone like me
Better fly away
In the sky away
Picker coming soon?
Pick from night to noon
Black and yellow too
Like banana too
They might pick you someday
I wish that I was yellow bird
I'd fly away with you
But I am not a yellow bird
So here I sit, nothing else to do.
Yellowbird
(Yellow Bird!)
Up in banana tree
Yellow bird
(Yellow Bird!)
You sit all alone like me
Did your lady friend, leave the west again?
That is very sad
Make me feel so bad
You can fly away
In the sky away
You're luckier, luckier than me.
