Thought this song was strangely ominous? You are correct! this song seems to hint, that in order to survive, the songbird (you) in this situation, has to perform constantly to survive, to be fed, hence the lyric ‘So sing and you’ll be fed’ seemingly chirpy, this song seems to have a dark meaning beh...
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
I heard from wise canary
Trilling makes a fellow willing;
So, little swallow, swallow now
Now is time to sing for your supper, and you'll get breakfast
Songbirds are not dumb;
They never buy a crumb of bread
It is said...
So sing, and you'll be fed, oh yeah---
Just sing and you'll be fed
Sing for Your Supper was written by Richard Rodgers & Lorenz Hart.
