Lyrics Fish and Whistle

I been thinking lately 'bout 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 I'm wondering if

I'm gonna see tomorrow

Father forgive us for what we must do

You forgive us we'll forgive you

We'll forgive each other 'till we both turn blue

Then we'll whistle and go fishing in the heaven

I was in the army but

I never dug a trench

Used to bust my knuckles on a monkey wrench

I'd go to town and drink give the girls a pinch

But I don't think they ever even noticed me

Father forgive us for what we must do

You forgive us we'll forgive you

We'll forgive each other 'till we both turn blue

Then we'll whistle and go fishing in the heaven

Fish and whistle whistle and fish

Eat everything that they put on your dish

And when we get through we'll make a big wish

That we never have to do this again again, again

On my very first job

I said thank you 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

Father forgive us for what we must do

You forgive us we'll forgive you

We'll forgive each other 'till we both turn blue

Then we'll whistle and go fishing in the heaven

Fish and whistle whistle and fish

Eat everything that they put on your dish

And when we get through we'll make a big wish

That we never have to do this again again, again

Father forgive us for what we must do

You forgive us we'll forgive you

We'll forgive each other 'till we both turn blue

Then we'll whistle and go fishing in the heaven

We'll whistle and go fishing in the heaven
