THE WHISTLING SONG
(A. (Avril?) Angers / B. Wicks)
Billy Cotton & His Band


When she walks down the street
All the cops on the beat turn and whistle
(Wolf whistle)
When she rides in the row
All the boys shout out “Whoa” and they whistle
(Wolf Whistle)
Apart from the fact that it’s coarse
A whistle unsettles the horse
And an unsettled horse can result in a very sad end,
My friend
When she travels by air
Pilots turn round and stare and they whistle
(Wolf whistle)
When she rides in a train
Porters do it again, they all whistle
(Wolf whistle)
Now she’s met a boy who can’t whistle at all
But he’s very handsome, he’s dark and he’s tall
He couldn’t care less about all of the rest
They can whistle


(Musical Break)


When she goes for a hike
Or a rid on a bike how they whistle
(Wolf whistle)
All the butchers and bakers
And candlestick makers all whistle
(Wolf Whistle)
She doesn’t consider it rude
You can’t call the lady a prude
So our local attraction
Gives some slight reaction
She’ll bow, and how.
When she goes to the movies
Or goes to a show how they whistle
(Wolf whistle)
When she puts on her coat
And is ready to go how they whistle
(Wolf whistle)
They whistled like mad when she went to a ball
She turned to the dark man who’s handsome and tall
And said “Aren’t they darlings, good luck to them all
They can whistle”
(Wolf whistle)
