[C]Sing for your supper, and [Am]you'll get b[Em]reakfast;
[C]Songbirds always [Am]eat
I[F]f their song is s[G]weet to h[C]ear.
[C]Sing for your luncheon, an[Am]d you'll get[Em] dinner
[C]Dine with wine of c[Am]hoice
I[F]f romance i[G]s in your[C] voice[C7] .
[F]I heard from a w[G]ise canary,
[Em]Trilling makes a fellow w[C]illing;
[F]So, little s[G]wallow, swallow [C]now.
N[G#]ow is the time to
[C]Sing for your supper and y[Am]ou'll get br[Em]eakfast.
[C]Songbirds are not [Am]dumb;
Th[F]ey don't buy [G]a crumb o[C]f bread, It i[A]s said...
[F]So sing and [G]you'll be [C]fed.
