Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
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’ll keep on singing all day long
If you’re hanging in suspense from eight ’till five
And you want to keep the sense of humor alive
Chorus
Just whistle while you work (whistle)
Put on that grin and start right in
To whistle loud and long
Just hum a merry tune (hum)
Just 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 trouble
Try to be just like the cheerful chick-a-dee
And whistle while you work (whistle)
Come on, get smart, tune up and start
To whistle while you work
