Lyrics
Five O'clock Whistle
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The five o 'clock whistle's on the blink
The whistle won't blow and what do you think
My Pop is still in the factory
´Cause he don't know what time it happens to be
The five o'clock whistle didn't blow
The whistle is broke and what do you know
If somebody don't find out what's wrong
My Pop will be working all night long...
The Band:
Oh, who's gonna fix the whistle,
Won't somebody fix the whistle,
Oh, who's gonna fix the whistle?
MH:
So my poor old Pop will know
It's time for him to stop...
You ought to hear what my Mommie said
When Poppa came home and sneaked into bed
And told her he worked till half past two
´Cause the five o'clock whistle never blew...!
