What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
I been thinking lately about the people I meet
2
The carwash on the corner and the hole in the street
3
The way my ankles hurt with shoes on my feet
4
I'm wondering if I'm gonna see tomorrow
5
chorus
6
Father forgive us for what we must do
7
You forgive us and we'll forgive you
8
We'll forgive each other 'til we both turn blue
9
And we'll whistle and go fishing in the heavens
10
I was in the army but I never dug a trench
11
I used to bust my nuckles on a monkey wrench
12
I'd go to town and drink and give the girls a pinch
13
I don't think they ever even noticed me
14
chorus
15
Fish and whistle, whistle and fish
16
Eat everything that they put on your dish
17
When we get through we'll make a big wish
18
That we never have to do this again, again? Again??
19
On my very first job I said thank-you and please
20
They made me scrub a parking lot down on my knees
21
Then I got fired for being scared of bees
22
And they only give me fifty cents an hour
23
chorus
24
Fish and whistle, whistle and fish
25
Eat everything that they put on your dish
26
When we get through we'll make a big wish
27
That we never have to do this again, again? Again??
28
Chorus
29
We'll whistle and go fishing in the heavens
30
We'll whistle and go fishing in the heavens
