Send "Fish & Whistle" Ringtone to your Cell
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
And Im wondering if Im gonna see tomorrow.
Father forgive us for what we must do
You forgive us well forgive you
Well forgive each other till we both turn blue
Then well whistle and go fishing in heaven.
I was in the army but I never dug a trench
I used to bust my knuckles on a monkey wrench
Then Id go to town and drink and give the girls a pinch
But I dont think they ever even noticed me.
Fish and whistle, whistle and fish
Eat everything that they put on your dish
And when we get through well 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.
The carwash on the corner and the hole in the street
The way my ankles hurt with shoes on my feet
And Im wondering if Im gonna see tomorrow.
Father forgive us for what we must do
You forgive us well forgive you
Well forgive each other till we both turn blue
Then well whistle and go fishing in heaven.
I was in the army but I never dug a trench
I used to bust my knuckles on a monkey wrench
Then Id go to town and drink and give the girls a pinch
But I dont think they ever even noticed me.
Fish and whistle, whistle and fish
Eat everything that they put on your dish
And when we get through well 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.
