[Verse]
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
