Yellow Bird
(source: "Canciones de Nuestra Cabana", World Association of Girl
Guides and Girl Scouts, 1980.)
- Yellow bird, up high in banana tree.
- Yellow bird, you sit all alone like me.
- Did your lady friend leave the nest again?
- That is very sad, make me feel so bad.
- You can fly away, in the sky away.
- You more lucky than me!
I also have a pretty gal,
- She not with me today.
- They all the same, the pretty gal,
- Make them the nest, then they fly away.
Yellow bird, up high in banana tree.
- Yellow bird, you sit all alone like me.
- Better fly away in the sky away.
- Picker coming soon, pick from night to noon.
- Black and yellow you, like banana too.
- They might pick you some day!
Wish that I was a yellow bird,
- I fly away with you.
- But I am not a yellow bird,
- So here I sit, nothing else to do.
Yellow bird, yellow bird, yellow bird.
