Fish & Whistle

I've been thinking lately 'bout the people I meet

The car wash on the corner and the hole in the street

The way my ankles hurt with shoes on my feet

And I wonder if I'm gonna see tomorrow

Father forgive us for what we must do

You forgive us and we'll forgive you

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

Then we'll whistle and go fishing in heaven

I was in the army but I never dug a trench

Used to bust my knuckles on a monkey wrench

Go to town and drink and 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 and we'll forgive you

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

Then we'll whistle and go fishing in heaven

Fishing and whistling, whistle and fish

Eat everything that they put on your dish

When we get through we can make a big wish

We'll never have to do this again, again, again

Lord, on my very first job I said thank you and please

Made me scrub a parking lot down on my knees

Then I got fired for being scared of bees

And they only paid me fifty cents an hour

Father forgive us for what we must do

You forgive us and we'll forgive you

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

Then we'll whistle and go fishing in heaven

Fishing and whistling, whistle and fish

Eat everything that they put on your dish

When we get through we can make a big wish

We'll never have to do this again, again, again

Father forgive us for what we must do

You forgive us and we'll forgive you

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

Then we'll whistle and go fishing in heaven

We'll whistle and go fishing in heaven

We'll whistle and go fishing in heaven
