Sing for Your Supper (Los Angeles 1938)

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 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 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

Songbirds are not dumb

They don't buy a crumb of bread

It's said

So sing and you'll be fed

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

Songbirds are not dumb

They don't buy a crumb of bread

It's said

So sing and you'll be fed
