The five o'clock whistle's on the blink.
The whistle won't blow and what do you think?
My papa's 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 what do you know?
Is somebody don't find out what's wrong
Oh my pop will be working all night lone.
Chorus:
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.
You oughta hear what my mommy said
When pappa came home and sneaked into bed
And told her worked 'til half-past two
'Cause the five o'clock whistle never blew.
The whistle is broke and what do you know?
Oh, my pop will be working all night long
Chorus
The whistle won't blow and what do you think?
My papa's 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 what do you know?
Is somebody don't find out what's wrong
Oh my pop will be working all night lone.
Chorus:
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.
You oughta hear what my mommy said
When pappa came home and sneaked into bed
And told her worked 'til half-past two
'Cause the five o'clock whistle never blew.
The whistle is broke and what do you know?
Oh, my pop will be working all night long
Chorus
