Lyrics: Carolyn Wonderland
My work is done I’m hanging with my friends
I’m hoping that this night will never end
Bills are due, but for now I can pretend
I’m just whistling past the graveyard again
There ain’t nobody that I’m doing wrong
Just blowing off some steam, it’s been too long
I work hard every day, so if I piss it all away
I’ve been whistling past the graveyard all along
Whistlin’ past the graveyard again
Whistlin’ past the graveyard again
I work hard every day, if I piss it all away
I’ve been whistling past the graveyard again
solo
The night is young, there’s promise in the air
Dirty boots and sidewalk savoir faire
I’ll go tip the band if you can get me in
Whistling past the graveyard again
Tomorrow morning won’t be near as fun
So tonight I’m gonna go get my bell rung
Next paycheck, I may pray that there’s more money left to spend
But I’m just whistling past the graveyard again
Whistlin’ past the graveyard again
Whistlin’ past the graveyard again
Next paycheck, I may pray that there’s more money left to spend
I’m just whistling past the graveyard again
