Lyrics
Don’t be a superstitious dope
To walk beneath a ladder
Can never make you sadder
Things people fear to me bring hope
Thirteen’s a lucky number
If you wake from slumber and
Chorus:
Sing before breakfast
Help the birdies along
Before you have that buttered toast
Have a song
Sing before breakfast
Croon a tune and rejoice
Before you use that coffee pot
Use your voice
The whole world may be funny
But it is good enough
If you are short of money, honey
Put it on the cuff
And sing before breakfast
Never cry at a thing
Before you eat that shredded wheat
Sing, just sing
