The Boys From Syracuse movie - Sing for your supper lyrics

<br>

VERSE<br>

<br>

<br>

Hawks and crows do lots of things,<br>

but the canary only sings.<br>

She is a courtesan on wings-<br>

So I've heard.<br>

Eagles and storks are twice as strong.<br>

All the canary knows is song.<br>

But the canary gets along-<br>

Guilded bird! <br>

<br>

<br>

REFRAIN<br>

<br>

<br>

Sing for your supper,<br>

And you'll get breakfast.<br>

Songbirds always eat<br>

If their song is sweet to hear.<br>

Sing for your luncheon,<br>

And you'll get dinner.<br>

Dine with wine of choice,<br>

If romance is in your voice.<br>

I heard from a wise canary<br>

Trilling makes a fellow willing,<br>

So, little swallow, swallow now.<br>

Now is the time to<br>

Sing for your supper,<br>

And you'll get breakfast.<br>

Songbirds are not dumb,<br>

They don't buy a crumb<br>

Of bread,<br>

It's said.<br>

So sing and you'll be fed.<br>

<br>
