(Lorenz Hart; Richard Rodgers) |
|
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. |
