If a bird don't sing, a bird is gonna die
If it ain't about to die, it is no more living
For a bird's gotta fly, and it's seen for a living
For a bird that ain't singing, now that's a dirty old lie
If a bird don't sing, a bird is gonna die
If it ain't about to die, it is no more living
For a bird's gotta fly
And it's seen for a living
For a bird that ain't singing, now that's a dirty old lie
A bird's gotta sing, a bird's gotta die
But before it gets to heaven, it's got a million miles to fly
For a bird that ain't singing, it ain't gonna sing
For a bird that ain't singing, it ain't gonna sing
For a bird that ain't singing, now that's a dirty old lie
A bird that ain't singing, now that's a dirty old lie
For it's gotta be singing
Or else it ain't gonna fly
For a bird that ain't singing, it ain't gonna fly
For a bird that ain't singing, it ain't gonna fly
