Fish And Whistle

Lyrics

I been thinking lately about the people I meet
 The carwash on the corner and the hole in the street
 The way my ankles hurt with shoes on my feet
 I'm wondering if I'm gonna see tomorrow
 Father forgive us for what we must do
 You forgive us, we'll forgive you
 We'll forgive each other 'til we both turn blue
 And we'll whistle and go fishing in the heavens
 ♪
 I was in the army but I never dug a trench
 I used to bust my nuckles on a monkey wrench
 I'd go to town and drink and give the girls a pinch
 But I don't think they ever even noticed me
 Father forgive us for what we must do
 You forgive us, we'll forgive you
 We'll forgive each other 'til we both turn blue
 And we'll whistle and go fishing in the heavens
 Fish and whistle, whistle and fish
 Eat everything that they put on your dish
 When we get through we'll make a big wish
 That we never have to do this again, again? Again?
 On my very first job I said thank you and please
 They made me scrub a parking lot down on my knees
 Then I got fired for being scared of bees
 And they only give me fifty cents an hour
 Father forgive us for what we must do
 You forgive us, we'll forgive you
 We'll forgive each other 'til we both turn blue
 And we'll whistle and go fishing in the heavens
 ♪
 Fish and whistle, whistle and fish
 Eat everything that they put on your dish
 When we get through we'll make a big wish
 That we never have to do this again, again? Again?
 Oh, father forgive us for what we must do
 You forgive us, we'll forgive you
 We'll forgive each other 'til we both turn blue
 And we'll whistle and go fishing in the heavens
 We'll whistle and go fishing in the heavens
 We'll whistle and go fishing in the heavens
