Whistle While You Work

Supremes · Never Before Released Masters [1989]

(Larry Morey/Frank Churchill)



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
