JUST A-WHISTLIN' AND A-WHITTLIN'
(Ralph Rainger / Leo Robin)

Dinah Shore


I wanna live kinda lazy life
Under the bright blue sky
Just a-whistlin' and a-whittlin'
And a-watchin' the world go by
Out where the hills kinda hazy like
Dream in the sun all day
I'm a-whittlin' and belittlin'
Any trouble that comes my way
I ain't like the folks that foller
After rainbows that they can't find
I ain't got but just one dollar
But I've still got my peace of mind
Now that the world's kinda crazy like
Lucky indeed am I
Just a-whistlin' and a-whittlin'
And a-watchin' the world go by.

(Orchestral Break)

I ain't like the folk that foller
After rainbows that they just can't seem to find
I ain't got but just one dollar
But I've still got my peace of mind
Now that the world's kinda crazy like
Lucky, lucky am I
Just a-whistlin' and a-whittlin'
Just lookin' at the world through rose coloured glasses
And a-watchin' the world go by.
