I used to hear a sparrow singing, baby

Oh, But one day as i went along i didnt hear it's song

But i know the sparrow should sing (sparrow should sing)

Sing on such a morning in spring

oh, sparrow why don't you sing?

Sing to me, oh, sparrow come around--

around, why don't you come around? sing about a melody

aww, melody about the things you see

anything you want to sing about

just sing it on out, now, sing it on out

let the world know what life's all about

sing little sparrow sing, sing little sparrow sing

ah, sing little sparrow won't you sing for me?

and for the rest of the whole wide world

they'll appreciate it i know

everytime im feeling low i know i can always count on you

sing little sparrow!

about the troubles you're in, places you've been

you can sing i know it

dont you try to pretend

sing while you're here, sing a song my dear

let me hear your song do you be too cold

sing little sparrow sing

want you to sing little sparrow sing

i want you to sing little sparrow si-ng, ah a pretty bird song

(Trumpet solo)

(Marvin harmonizes)

sing to me, let me hear your agony

did you say man's sucking up the land?

sing to me of peace and love

sing to me of God above

sing sparrow, oh, sparrow sing

sing to me about man's inhumanity and all the injustice you see

sing sparrow, sing little sparrow si-ng

sing about what you hear, sing about how to live

i want you to sing your tune sparrow, oh, sparrow sing!

sing to me of jealousy, ah-ah, sing what thats all about

sing it on out, shout! little sparrow

aw, sing at me, sing me a--sing me a song

i want to know whats wrong, little bird say, tell me,

sing, sparrow, cuz i want to know

you sweet itty-bitty-pretty bird, sing before you go

sing to me Marvin Gaye, before you fly away

never stop singing sparrow

til' we hear your song-oh-ong

sing, your song

sing, your song

on & on & on & on

on & on & on & on and

I need your love

a bird!
