Lyrics

(Eccles): Oooohh! Who stuck that needle in my nut

[music starts]

(Milligan/Sprigs): [warming up] (Thank you, yes. Very good. Thank you maestro, I think I have it now) Life is ... (sorry, I'll start again) 
Life is full of modern type misfortune 
Full of strife and woe and grief by fright 
But even though you come upon misfortune 
There's one thing that will save you in the end 
When life is not all bliss, please remembering

(Secombe) (Thank you) 
When you're drowning in the water of a shark infested bay 
Give a little [whistle] and whistle your cares away 
When your standing on the gallows at the dreaded break of day 
Give a little [whistle] and whistle your cares away

(Eccles) Your beauty is a raphosdy -- classic melody 
A haunting old refrain from Mozart's Peer Gynt Suite in C

(Secombe) If your tied up to the railroad and the train is on its way 
Give a little [whistle] and whistle your cares away

(Bluebottle)
There are lots of dangers for a Wolf Cub,
living in the dreaded London town
But your life will not be half as dreary, 
If you do not let them get you down 
So listen to my plea, for the price of one and three 
Oh, thank you [splash]

(Little Jim) He has fallen in the water

(Secombe) ... of a shark infested bay. Give a little HELP!

(Eccles) ... and whistle your cares away

(Minnie) Henry! Henry! Henry!

(Secombe) If you're tightened to the railroad and the train is on its way 
Just give a little [TOOT! TOOT!] and whistle your cares away 
[train noises]

(Eccles) Oh!
