The five o 'clock whistle's on the blink The whistle won't blow and what do you think My Pop is 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 If somebody don't find out what's wrong My Pop will be working all night long... The Band: Oh, who's gonna fix the whistle, Won't somebody fix the whistle, Oh, who's gonna fix the whistle? MH: So my poor old Pop will know It's time for him to stop... You ought to hear what my Mommie said When Poppa came home and sneaked into bed And told her he worked till half past two 'Cause the five o'clock whistle never blew...!
