Yel - low Bird, up high in ba - na - na tree.
Yel - low Bird, you sit all a - lone like me.
Did your la - dy friend leave de nest a-gain?  Dat is ver - y sad, make me feel so bad.
You can fly a- way, in the sky a- way.  You more luck -y dan me!

Dey all de same, de pret -ty gal,  Make dem de nest, dem de fly a -way.
