Roger Whittaker – Yellow Bird
This is quite a rare song by Roger which only appeared on a children’s album released in 1975 titled: The Magical World of Roger ..
And here are the lyrics to Yellow Bird…
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 bad, Makes me feel so sad
You can fly away, In the sky away
You more lucky than me
I also have a handsome friend,
(he not with me today)
They all the same, the handsome friends
Make ’em 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 may pick you some day
Wish that I was a yellow bird,
I fly away with you
But I am not a yellow bird
So I sit, nothing else to do
Yellow bird Yellow bird Yellow bird Yellow bird
Thank you! Thank you very much, Roger Whittaker and Sally Porch! Thanks to you both, that irritatingly catchy song “Yellow Bird” has become my “Earworm of the Day”! I sing it in the shower, I hum it at the breakfast table, I whistle it around the house, I mutter it under my breath up and down the stairs ,a helpless prisoner to its seductive yet annoying melody and lyrics. Thank you very much indeed! Mmm…mm-mm….mm mm-mm mmmm mm mm! There it goes again!!
