Sing for your supper
And you'll get breakfast
Songbirds always eat
If their song is sweet to hear

I say now sing for you lunch
And you'll get dinner
Dine with wine of choice
If romance is in your voice

[Bridge]
I heard from a wise canary
Trillin' makes a fellow willin'
So little swallow, swallow now
Now is the time to

[Chorus]
Sing for your supper
And you'll get breakfast
Songbirds are not dumb
They never buy a crumb of bread
It's said
So sing and you'll be fed

[Bridge]

[Chorus]

One more time
I said sing and you'll be fed
Oh yeah
I said sing and you'll be fed
