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.

Songbirds are not dumb; 
They never buy a crumb of bread, 
It is said... 
So sing, and you'll be fed, oh yeah - 
Just sing and you'll be fed.
