Ukulele Jim Yellow Bird song lyrics

Yellow bird, high in banana tree.

Yellow bird, sitting alone like me.

Did your lady friend leave the nest again?

That is very sad, makes me feel so bad.

You could fly away, in the sky away.

You more lucky than me.

I once had me a pretty girl

(she not with me today).

They all the same, those pretty girls.

They make their nest, then they fly away.

Yellow bird, high in banana tree.

Yellow bird, sitting alone like me.

You should fly away, in the sky away.

The picker's coming soon,

he picks from night 'til noon.

Black and yellow you, like banana too,

they might pick you someday!

I wish I were a yellow bird,

I'd fly away with you.

But I am not a yellow bird,

so here I sit, nothing else I can do.

Yellow bird.

Yellow bird.
