A Little Bit of Food

We've helped princesses
for many eons
But you treat us all like furry peons
We make your bed
Clean up your messes

Wake you up
And put on all your dresses

And what's our reward?
What thanks do we get?
Not a crumb, not a morsel
No brie, no baguette
Did you really think
after all these years
When we did your chores
we were volunteers?

A little bit of food is all that we seek
A little bit to eat

Fill our tummy

Wet our beak

A little bit to munch

Like breakfast

Dinner

Lunch
A nut, a seed, a bean
or just some rice

'Cause a little bit of food
would sure be nice

It really isn't much
Not too much for us to ask
After helping you daily
with each little task

Just a bite or two
Such a modest fee
Even little songbirds
Shouldn't sing for free

Well, if food is what you want

Just a little bit

You've come to the right castle. Follow me! Ha ha!

A little bit to munch
And there's nothing quite like brunch

So, deliver just a sliver or a slice

Of whatever tasty treat
all the royal people eat

We'd be glad to make some room

For a lentil or legume

If you want some first-class service

There's a price
And a little bit of food
Would sure be nice

Oh, a little bit of food

Birds: A little bit of food

Just a little bit of food

Just a little bit of food

Nice!
