Every night at half past eight
Swinging on her garden gate
Oh, they all start whistling Mary
(Whistle)


Round the back there’s Mike and Bill
Hanging on her window sill
And they all start whistling Mary
(Whistle)


Has she got the boys all dizzy
Giving them the run around
Love affairs have kept them busy
She’s the biggest flirt since Cleopatra


Butchers, bakers, ice men too
Gay young sparks of ninety two
Well they all start whistling Mary
(Whistle)
