It's very obviously a contraction of the word "exchange"; a shorthand and poetic way of saying they sing to each other. In the same way the word "change" used in the context of money doesn't mean alter, but refers to an exchange of coins and goods, or notes for coins. Some people just have to make things more complicated than they really are.
