Here’s a nice song from The Mamas and the Papas. I like most all their songs, but hadn’t heard this one until recently. I didn’t know it was a cover for a long ago song, either until I read about it.

From a Wiki article:
“Sing for Your Supper” is an American popular song by composer Richard Rodgers and lyricist Lorenz Hart. The song debuted in their 1938 Broadway musical The Boys from Syracuse

And you’ll get breakfast
Songbirds always eat
If their song is sweet to hear
And you’ll get dinner
Dine with wine of choice
If romance is in your voice
Trilling makes a fellow willing
So, little swallow, swallow now
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
Trilling makes a fellow willing
So, little swallow, swallow now
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
