The five o'clock
whistle's on the blink,
The whistle won't blow
and whadd'ya 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 whadda'ya know?
If somebody don't find
out what's wrong
Oh, my pop'll be workin'
all night long,
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
Ya ought to hear
what my mommy said,
When papa came home
and sneaked into bed
And told her he worked till
half past two
'Cause the five o'clock
whistle never blew.
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
Ya ought to hear
what my mommy said,
When papa came home
and sneaked into bed
And told her he worked till
half past two
'Cause the five o'clock
whistle never blew.
