[ADRIANA]
Hawks and crows do lots of things
[LUCIANA]
But the canary only sings
[LUCE]
She is a courtesan on wings
[ADRIANA, LUCIANA & LUCE]
So I've heard
[LUCE]
Eagles and storks are twice as strong
[LUCIANA ]
All the canary knows is song
[ADRIANA]
But the canary gets along
[ADRIANA, LUCIANA & LUCE]
Gilded bird!
[ADRIANA]
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
[LUCE]
Sing for your supper, and you'll get breakfast
Songbirds always eat
If their song is sweet to hear
[ADRIANA & LUCIANA]
Doo-dle-de-oo-doo, doo-dle-de-oo-doo
[ADRIANA, LUCIANA & LUCE]
Doo-dle-de-oo-doo doo
[LUCE]
Sing for your luncheon and you'll get dinner
Dine with wine of choice
If romance is in your voice
[ADRIANA & LUCIANA]
Ooh, ooh
[LUCE]
I heard from a wise canary
[LUCE, ADRIANA & LUCIANA]
Trilling makes you willing (Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo)
[ADRIANA, LUCIANA & LUCE]
So little swallow, swallow now
[LUCE]
Now is the time to
Sing for your supper and you'll get breakfast
[LUCE, ADRIANA & LUCIANA]
Songbirds are not dumb (Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo)
They don't buy a (Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo)
Crumb of (Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo)
Bread, it's said (Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo)
So
[ADRIANA, LUCIANA & LUCE]
Sing and you’ll be fed
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
[ADRIANA]
From a wise canary
[LUCIANA]
Trilling
[LUCE]
Makes a
[ADRIANA, LUCIANA & LUCE]
Fellow willing
So little swallow, swallow now
[ADRIANA]
Now is the time to
[ADRIANA, LUCIANA & LUCE]
Sing for your supper and you’ll get breakfast
Songbirds are not dumb
They don't have to buy a crumb of bread
A spool of thread
Just sing instead
You don't have to buy even a crumb of bread, it's said
[ADRIANA]
You’ll be fed if you sing
[LUCIANA]
Doodle-doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo
[LUCE]
Doo-doo-doo-doo-dee-oo-doo-doo-dee
Doo-dee-oo-doo-doo
[ADRIANA, LUCIANA & LUCE]
If you dance
So sing and you'll be fed
[Dance break.]
Sing for your supper and you'll get breakfast
Songbirds always eat
If their song is sweet to hear
Sing for your supper and you'll get breakfast
Songbirds are not dumb
They don't have to buy a crumb of bread
A spool of thread
Just sing instead
You don't have to buy even a crumb of bread, it's said
So sing and you'll be fed
