Lyrics Five O Clock Whistle - New Mono to Stereo Mix - Ella Fitzgerald

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?
If somebody don't find out what's wrong
Oh, my papa'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

You ought to hear what my mommy said
When papa came home and sneaked into bed
And told her he worked 'til 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

You wanna hear what my papa said
When he sneaked into bed
He said, "Baby, oh, baby
I really worked 'til half past two
'Cause the five o'clock whistles never blew"
