Whistling In The Dark Lyrics

    A woman came up to me and said
    "i'd like to poison your mind
    With wrong ideas that appeal to you
    Though i am not unkind"
    She looked at me, i looked at something
    Written across her scalp
    And these are the words that it faintly said
    As i tried to call for help:

    There's only one thing that i know how to do well
    And i've often been told that you only can do
    What you know how to do well
    And that's be you,
    Be what you're like,
    Be like yourself,
    And so i'm having a wonderful time
    But i'd rather be whistling in the dark
    Whistling in the dark
    Whistling in the dark
    Whistling in the dark
    Whistling in the dark
    Whistling in the dark
    There's only one thing that i like
    And that is whistling in the dark

    A man came up to me and said
    "i'd like to change your mind
    By hitting it with a rock," he said,
    "though i am not unkind."
    We laughed at his little joke
    And then i happily walked away
    And hit my head on the wall of the jail
    Where the two of us live today.

    There's only one thing that i know how to do well
    And i've often been told that you only can do
    What you know how to do well
    And that's be you,
    Be what you're like,
    Be like yourself,
    And so i'm having a wonderful time
    But i'd rather be whistling in the dark
    Whistling in the dark
    Whistling in the dark
    Whistling in the dark
    Whistling in the dark
    Whistling in the dark
    There's only one thing that i like
    And that is whistling in the dark

    There's only one thing that i know how to do well
    And i've often been told that you only can do
    What you know how to do well
    And that's be you,
    Be what you're like,
    Be like yourself,
    And so i'm having a wonderful time
    But i'd rather be whistling in the dark
    Whistling in the dark
    Whistling in the dark
    Whistling in the dark
    Whistling in the dark
    Whistling in the dark
    Whistling, whistling
    Whistling in the dark
