Whistle While You Work Songtext
von Diana Ross

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 'til five
And you want to keep the sense of humor 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


Hey, come on, get smart
Tune up and start
And whistle while you work

Wow! Hey Mary, come on, you looking real tired
I want you to try this (Okay)
God, I′m chewing bubble gum
Hey Flo, come on, it's your turn
Don′t- come on
No darling, I'm too busy diggin′ this drummer

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? Okay okay
Come on, look, look-
Excuse me, my lips won't poker, I mean
Come on, I'll teach you
Maybe you didn′t teach me
Let′s whistle (I can whistle)
I'm not tired but I got a lot of problems and-
What kind of problems you have?
Whistle honey, whistle while you work
