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
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 a cheerful chick-a-dee
And whistle while you work (whistle)
Come on get smart
Tune up and start
To whistle while you work
