Fish And Whistle lyrics

I been thinking lately
about 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 heaven.


I was in the army
but I never dug a trench
I used to bust my knuckles
on a monkey wrench
then I`d go to town and drink
and give the girls a pinch
but I don`t think
they ever even noticed me.


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 and 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.
