When the work begins to pile up
And your temper starts to rile up
That's the time a fella needs a song
Dr. Banker, Butcher, Baker
You can be a merrymaker
If you go on singing all day long
If you're hanging in suspense from eight till five
And you want to keep that sense of humor
Alive
Just whistle while you work
Put on that grin and start right in
And whistle wild and long
Just hum a merry tune
Just do your best and take a rest
And sing yourself a song
When there's too much to do
And you're hanging in suspense from eight till five
Don't let it bother you
Forget your troubles
Try to be just like a cheerful chickadee
And whistle while you work
Just do your best and take a rest
And sing yourself a song
If you get in trouble
And you don't know where to go

Right from wrong
Give a little whistle
That's right, give a little whistle
If you meet temptation
And the urge is very strong
Give a little whistle
Give a little whistle
Not just a little squeak
Pucker up and blow
And if your whistle's weak
Just yell
Jiminy, cricket, right
Take the straight and narrow path
And if you start to slide
Give a little whistle
Give a bigger whistle
And always let your conscience
Be your guide
Give a little whistle
Not just a little squeak
Pucker up and blow
And if your whistle's weak
Just yell
Jiminy, cricket, right
Take the straight and narrow path
And if you start to slide
Give a little whistle
Give a little whistle
And always let your conscience be your guide

Always let your conscience be your guide.
When there's too much to do, don't let it bother you.
Forget your troubles.
Try to be just like a cheerful chickadee.
Like a cheerful chickadee.
And whistle while you work.
Come on, get smart.
Come on, get smart.
Tune up and start.
Tune up and start to whistle.
Dr. Banker, Butcher Baker, you can be a merrymaker.
Whistle while you work.
