how the canary suite has anything to do

a tiny sweet canary bird, and someone ought to pay.
But it was back before the safety lamp was invented and then lit,
so the miners' lives
depended on the heroes of the pit.
And the hero of the pit was our little feathered friend,
and if that dreaded gas crept round,
his life would surely end.
