Lyrics

[Verse 1: Ed Townsend] I heard about a sparrow singing One day as I went along I didn't hear him sing his song I know that sparrows can sing Just like a bird on a wing Oh, sparrow, why don't you sing? Sing to me, oh, won't you come around? Come around, will you come around, and sing? Sing about a melody, about a thing you see Anything that you want to sing about Just sing it on out now, sing it on out 'Til the world knows what life's all about Sing, little sparrow, sing Sing, little sparrow, sing Oh, sing, little sparrow, won't you sing for me? [Instrumental Break] [Refrain: Marvin Gaye] Sing, sparrow, sing a little, sparrow Sing, sparrow, sing a little, sparrow Sing, sparrow, sing a little, sparrow Sing, sparrow, sing a little, sparrow Sing, sparrow, sing a little, sparrow Sing, sparrow, sing a little, sparrow Sing, sparrow, sing a little, sparrow Sing, sparrow, sing a little, sparrow Sing, sparrow, sing a little, sparrow Sing, sparrow, sing a little, sparrow Sing, sparrow, sing a little, sparrow Sing, sparrow, sing a little, sparrow (Sing) Sing, sparrow, sing a little, sparrow (Sing) Sing, sparrow, sing a little, sparrow (Oh, sing) Sing, sparrow, sing a little, sparrow (Oh, sing...) Sing, sparrow, sing a little, sparrow (...About misery) Sing, sparrow, sing a little, sparrow (Sing) Sing, sparrow, sing a little, sparrow (Sing) Sing, sparrow, sing a little, sparrow (Ah, whoa...) Sing, sparrow, sing a little, sparrow (Gonna sing) Sing, sparrow, sing a little, sparrow (Whoa) Sing, sparrow, sing a little, sparrow [Outro: Ed Townsend's reference track for Marvin] Hold tight... you hear that change to the--? Da-da-da-da-da... melody change in your earphones that time... Did it change in your earphones in time? Sparrow Oh, my little sparrow now You can think about it now But, keep on singing, little bird Keep on singing, little bird Your song, your song, your song... (Yeah, yeah!)
