Ella Fitzgerald Five O`clock Whistle Lyrics

Five O`clock Whistle Lyrics

The five o'clock whistle's on the blink

The whistle won't blow and whadd'ya think?

My pop is still in the factory 'cause he don't know

What time it happens to be



The five o'clock whistle didn't blow

The whistle is broke and whadda'ya know?

If somebody don't find out what's wrong

Oh, my pop'll be workin' all night long



Oh, who's gonna fix the whistle?

Won't somebody fix the whistle?

Oh, who's gonna fix the whistle?

So my poor old pop will know it's time for him to stop



Ya ought to hear what my mommy said

When papa came home and sneaked into bed

And told her he worked till half past two

'Cause the five o'clock whistle never blew
