Feed The Birds (Tuppence A Bag)
Music and lyrics by Richard M. Sherman
and Robert B. Sherman
Performed by Julie Andrews
Mary
Poppins
Early
each day to the steps of St. Paul's
The little old bird woman comes
In
her own special way to the people she calls
"Come, buy my bags full
of crumbs
Come feed the little birds
Show them you care
And you'll
be glad if you do
Their young ones are hungry
Their nests are so bare
All
it takes is tuppence from you
Feed the birds, tuppence a bag
Tuppence,
tuppence, tuppence a bag
"Feed the birds", that's what she cries
While
overhead, her birds fill the skies
All around the cathedral
The saints
and apostles
Look down as she sells her wares
Although you can't see it
You
know they're smiling
Each time someone shows that he cares
Though her
words are simple and few
Listen, listen, she's calling to you
"Feed
the birds, tuppence a bag
Tuppence, tuppence, tuppence a bag"
Though her words are simple and few
Listen, listen, she's calling to
you
"Feed the birds, tuppence a bag
Tuppence, tuppence, tuppence
a bag"
