Hawks and crows do lots of things
but the canary only sings.
She is a courtesan on wings,
so I've heard.
Eagles and storks are twice as strong
all the canary knows is song,
but the canary gets along,
Gilded bird!

Sing for your supper
and you'll get breakfast,
song bird 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 voice.
I heard from a 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,
song birds are not dumb.
They don't buy a crumb of bread,
it's sad,
so sing and you'll be fed.

Sing for your supper
and you'll get breakfast,
song bird 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 voice.
I heard from a 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,
song birds are not dumb.
They don't buy a crumb of bread,
it's sad,
so sing and you'll be fed.
