Lyrics

  1. When you think the world’s against you
    And ev’rything seems wrong
    Did you ever try to whistle
    The strains of a popular song?
    Don’t let your worries get you
    Don’t let your cares upset you
    A tonic when you’re blue
    I’ll now prescribe for you

Chorus
Whistle, whistle, whistle a tune
Whistle, whistle, chase Mister Gloom
Try and see what it will do
If you only learn to whistle just a pretty melody
Whistle, whistle, whistle a tune
You’ll be happy soon
And you will find your trouble vanish like a bubble
If you whistle a popular tune

  1. When you wake up in the morning
    And skies are dark and drear
    If you start a merry whistle
    The sunshine will soon reappear
    And tho outside it’s raining
    You should not be complaining
    Just whistle all the day
    Your cares will fly away
