Biografia:
Elsie Carlisle (28 January 1896 – November 1977) was a popular English female singer during the British dance band era of the 1920s and 1930s.
Originally from Manchester, Elsie recorded with many of the big dance bands of the time, as well as solo. She recorded very little after the beginning of the Second World War, and retired from the entertainment industry after about 1946. Her business interests included ballroom dancing venues in south London, a company manufacturing bar accessories, a pub in central London and a hotel/pub in Berkshire.

You'll need your capo on Fret 1 to play along with the original recording by Elsie Carlisle in C#/Db:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uyxMrdOtauE
The Al Bowley version on You Tube starts in Eb (Capo 3) then moves to C (no capo) before ending in F (Capo 5):

I prefer the slower Carlisle version to the more upbeat Bowley.
Second chorus mentions 'Swaffer's Column' - this was a newspaper gossip column of the time.

[Intro]
C D Dm C
All this world is up-to-date; even children stay up late
Dm C G
Things are just not what they used to be
C D Dm C
All this world is off its nut – going crazy – nothing but
D G G7
Just get this earful from me:
[Verse 1]
C B7 C B7
Since making whoopee became all the rage
C B7 A7
It's even got to the old bird cage
F C G C A7 D7 G7
My canary has circles under his eyes.
[Verse 2]
C B7 C B7
He used to whistle 'The Prisoner's Song'
C B7 A7
Now he does snake-hips the whole night long.
F C G C F C C7
My poor canary has circles under his eyes.
[Chorus 1]
F C7 F
Now there was a time he was satisfied
Dm A7 Dm
To flit among the flowers.
D A7 D
But now when I let him out he'll hide
Dm A7 Dm G7
Up in a tree for hours.
[Verse 3]
C B7 C B7
Instead of taking a much needed rest
C B7 A7
He's flying out to some sparrow's nest.
F C G C F C G
My canary has circles under his eyes.
[Verse 4]
C B7 C B7
He has no girlfriends – that I'm certain of
C B7 A7
But he thinks 'What is this thing called love?'
F C G C A7 D7 G7
My canary has circles under his eyes.
[Verse 5]
C B7 C B7
Birds of a feather, the old story goes,
C B7 A7
But love is something nobody knows
F C G C F C C7
My poor canary has circles under his eyes.
[Chorus 2]
F C7 F
Now maybe he's worried – the little lamb
Dm A7 Dm
He always looks so solemn
D A7 D
I wonder if he is in a jam
Dm A Dm G
I'll look in Swaffer's Column
[Verse 6]
C B7 C B7
He won't eat his birdseed – it's really a sin
C B7 A7
He won't sing a thing without his drop of gin.
F C G E7 A7
My canary has circles under his eyes.
F C G C
My poor canary has circles under his eyes.
