Songbirds always eat 
Dm7               G        C      F G 
If their song is sweet to hear.

Sing for your luncheon, and you'll get dinner

Em            Em7         G

Songbirds are not dumb;  
Dm7               G        C            A7 
They don't buy a crumb of bread, It is said...  
F           G         C 
So sing and you'll be fed.
