(richard rodgers and lorenz hart)
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.

so sing, and you'll be fed, oh yeah -
just sing and you'll be fed. |
