The five o'clock whistle's on the blink
The whistle won't blow and whadd'ya think?
My pop is still in the factory 
'Cause he don't know what time it happens to be

The five o'clock whistle didn't blow
The whistle is broke and whadda'ya know?
If somebody don't find out what's wrong
My pop'll be workin' all night long

Who, who's gonna fix the whistle?
Won't somebody fix the whistle?
Who, who's gonna fix the whistle?
So my poor old pop will know it's time for him to stop

Ya ought to hear what my mommy said
When papa came home and sneaked into bed
And told her he worked 'til half past two
'Cause the five o'clock whistle never blew

Five o'clock didn't blow
The whistle is broke and whadda'ya know?
If somebody don't find out what's wrong
Oh, my pop'll be workin' all night long

Who, who's gonna fix the whistle?
Won't somebody fix the whistle?
Who, who's gonna fix the whistle?
So my poor old pop will know it's time for him to stop

Ya ought to hear what my mommy said
When papa came home and sneaked into bed
And told her he worked 'til half past two
'Cause the five o'clock whistle never blew

The five o'clock whistle
The five o'clock whistle never blew
