Early 20th century kid's song written by No-sword favorite SAIJOU Yaso:

The canary has forgotten her song --
Shall we dump her in the mountains out back?
No, no, that won't do!
The canary has forgotten her song --
Shall we bury her in the grove out back?
No, no, that won't do!
The canary has forgotten her song --
Shall we thrash her with a willow switch?
No, no, the poor thing!
[shift to 3/4 here]
The canary has forgotten her song --
But put her to sea on a moonlit night
In an ivory boat with a silver oar
And she'll remember her song.

I'm skeptical of this remedy's efficacy, but I suppose it's better than beating the poor bird with a stick.
