Lyrics
[Verse 1] 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: [Pre-Chorus] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Pre-Chorus] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Pre-Chorus] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Outro] Whistling (whistling), Whistling (whistling) Dark (dark), Dark (dark) Whistling (whistling), Whistling (whistling) Dark (dark), Dark (dark) Whistling (whistling), Whistling (whistling) Dark (dark), Dark (dark) Whistling (whistling), Whistling (whistling) Dark (dark), Dark (dark) Whistling (whistling), Whistling (whistling) Dark (dark), Dark (dark) Whistling (whistling), Whistling (whistling) Dark (dark), Dark (dark) Whistling (whistling), Whistling (whistling) Dark (dark), Dark (dark) Whistling (whistling), Whistling (whistling) Dark (dark), Dark (dark) Whistling (whistling), Whistling (whistling) Dark (dark), Dark (dark) Whistling (whistling), Whistling (whistling) Dark (dark), Dark (dark) Whistling (whistling), Whistling (whistling) Dark (dark), Dark (dark) Whistling (whistling), Whistling (whistling) Dark (dark), Dark (dark)
