“Early each day to the steps of Saint Paul’s
\nThe little old bird woman comes
\nIn her own special way to the people
\nShe calls, “Come, buy my bags full of crumbs”<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Come feed the little birds, show them you care
\nAnd you’ll be glad if you do
\nTheir young ones are hungry, their nests are so bare
\nAll it takes is tuppence from you”<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

“Feed the birds, tuppence a bag
\nTuppence, tuppence, tuppence a bag
\nFeed the birds”, that’s what she cries
\nWhile overhead, her birds fill the skies<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

All around the cathedral, the saints and apostles
\nLook down as she sells her wares
\nAlthough you can’t see it, you know they are smiling
\nEach time someone shows that he cares<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Though her words are simple and few
\n“Listen, listen”, she’s calling to you
\n“Feed the birds, tuppence a bag
\nTuppence, tuppence, tuppence a bag”<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Though her words are simple and few
\n“Listen, listen”, she’s calling to you
\n“Feed the birds, tuppence a bag
\nTuppence, tuppence, tuppence a bag.”<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

The song “Feed the Birds”<\/b><\/p>\n
