Whistle While You're Lonely 1910 Kern

By the fireside in the country
winter ev'ry where around,
wind a whistling through the chimney,
That's a pleasant kind of sound:
In the summer, you and someone,
listening to the summer breeze:
Whistling through the trees above you
makes you think of thoughts like these

Whistle when you're lonely,
whistle when you're blue;
Whistle when you want me,
and I'll come to you,
This will be my whistle
Whistle
When I'm near you let me hear you,
whistle that way too.

Whistle when you're lonely,
whistle when you're blue;
Whistle when you want me,
and I'll come to you,
This will be my whistle
Whistle
When I'm near you let me hear you,
whistle that way too.

In the city you may notice
windows fly up here and there,
someone whistles and the answer,
comes a floating through the air:
One means: "Come and get your supper,"
one: "Yes, I'll be home at eight."
One is calling to the iceman
one is fixing up a date.

Whistle when you're lonely,
whistle when you're blue;
Whistle when you want me,
and I'll come to you,
This will be my whistle
Whistle
When I'm near you let me hear you,
whistle that way too.

Whistle when you're lonely,
whistle when you're blue;
Whistle when you want me,
and I'll come to you,
This will be my whistle
Whistle
When I'm near you let me hear you,
whistle that way too.
