Now you wash the dishes You tidy up the room You clean those cobwebs What? And he'll use the broom Me? Whistle while you work And cheerfully together We can tidy up the place So hum a merry tune Hmm-hmm-hmm It won’t take long when there's a song To help you set the pace And as you sweep the floor What used to be a bore Will feel just like a game And not the same old chore it was before Whistle while you work You'll get it! When we’re a team, the house will gleam So whistle while you work Whistle while you work It's easy to get through it When we do it hand in hand So catch that merry tune I'll take it! When work is fun, the work gets done In half the time you planned Wait! I think that brush is mine You shoulda hung a sign If you don't hush, I'll take this brush And shove it where the Sun don't shine Whistle while you work Your bickering won't fix a thing So whistle while you work Ah, ah Ah, ah Ah, ah, ah, ah Ah, ah It's easy to get through it When we do it hand in hand Whistle while you work We’ve scrubbed the house together Now it’s clean as clean can be So hum a merry tune This grimy group became a troupe That feels like family Oh, what used to be a mess (to be a mess) That lived at this address (that lived at this address) Is now clean as a whistle Just from whistlin' sounds of happiness Whistle while you work When work is fun, the work gets done It’s mighty fine when we combine It won't take long when there's a song So whistle while you work
