Chorus:
Whoa, tie a yellow ribbon ’round the ole oak tree
It’s been three long years, do ya still want me?
If I don’t see a ribbon ’round the ole oak tree
I’ll stay on the bus, forget about us, put the blame on me
If I don’t see a yellow ribbon ’round the ole oak tree
Bus driver, please look for me
‘cause I couldn’t bear to see what I might see
I’m really still in prison and my love, she holds the key
A simple yellow ribbon’s what I need to set me free
I wrote and told her please [Chorus]
Now the whole damned bus is cheerin’ and I can’t believe I see
A hundred yellow ribbons ’round the ole oak tree
