Eartha Kitt - Yellow Bird lyrics

Yellow bird, up high in banana tree Yellow bird, you sit all alone like me Did your lady friend leave your 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 had a pretty girl She's not with me today They're all the same, the pretty girls Take tenderness, then they fly away Yellow bird, up high in banana tree Yellow bird, you sit all alone like me Let her fly away, in the sky away Pick a town and, soon, pick from night to noon Black and yellow, you like banana too They might pick you someday Wish that I were a yellow bird I'd fly away with you But I am not a yellow bird So here I sit, nothin' else to do Yellow bird Yellow bird Yellow bird
