Sing for your supper

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

[Chorus]

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

Versione di Ray Charles

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.
Songbirds always east
If their song is sweet to hear.
Song for your luncheon, and you’ll get dinner.
Dine with wine of choice,
If romance is in your voice.
I heard from a wise canary
Trilling makes a fellow willing,
So little swallow, swallow now.
Now is the time to
Song 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.
