Sing For Your Supper - Count Basie

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 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
