Sparrow [Alternate Version]

[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!)
