Whistle While You Work
Snow White Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(humming.. whistling)
And cheerfully together we can tidy up the place
So hum a merry tune (humming)
It won't take long when there's a song to help you get the pay
And as you sweep the room
Imagine that the broom
And you'll find you're dancing to the tune
When hearts are high
The time will fly so
Whistle while you work
So whistle while you work...
