Lyrics
Whistle While You Work
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.
When the work begins to pile up
And your temper starts to rile up
That's the time a fellow needs a song
Doctor, banker, butcher, baker
You can be a merry maker
If you keep on singing all day long
If you're hanging in suspense from eight 'till five
And you wanna keep the sense of humour alive
Just whistle while you work
Put on that grin and start right in
To whistle loud and long
Just hum a merry tune
Do your best, then take a rest
And sing yourself a song
When there's too much to do
Don't let it bother you
Forget your troubles
Try to be just like a cheerful chick-a-dee
And whistle while you work
Come on get smart, tune up and startin' whistle while you work
Hey Mary, come on, you look a little tired
I want you to try this
OK
Golly, I'm chewin' bubblegum?
Hey Flo, come on it's your turn
Don't, come on
No, darling, I'm too busy digging this drummer
When there's too much to do
Don't let it bother you
Forget your troubles
Try to be just like a cheerful chick-a-dee
Hey, whistle while you work
Come on get smart, tune up and start to whistle while you
Hey Flo come on your turn
Mary?
Come on Florence, I'll teach you
