Sing for your supper
And you'll get breakfast
Songbirds always eat

If their song is sweet to hear

Sing for your luncheon

And you'll get dinner
Dine with wine of choice
If romance is in your voice


I heard from wise canary
Trilling makes a fellow willing

So, little swallow, swallow now

Now is the time to

Sing for your supper
And you'll get breakfast
Songbirds are not dumb

They don't buy a crumb of bread
It's said, so sing and you'll be fed


I heard from wise canary
Trilling makes a fellow willing
So, little swallow, swallow now


Now is time to sing for your supper
And you'll get breakfast

Songbirds are not dumb
They never buy a crumb of bread
It is said, so sing and you'll be fed,

Just sing and you'll be fed
