There's only one thing that I know how to do well
"I'd like to change your mind
Whistling in the dark
Be what you're like
Whistling in the dark
(Whistling)
Though I am not unkind"
Whistling in the dark
And that is whistling in the dark
But I'd rather be whistling in the dark
Whistling in the dark
Be what you're like
Be what you're like
Whistling in the dark
Whistling, whistling
Whistling in the dark
Whistling in the dark

We laughed at his little joke
What you know how to do well

And that is whistling in the dark
...
There's only one thing that I know how to do well
By hitting it with a rock," he said
Whistling in the dark
Whistling
Be like yourself
Whistling in the dark
And then I happily walked away
And so I'm having a wonderful time
There's only one thing that I like
Written across her scalp
And that's be you
Be like yourself
There's only one thing that I like
Dark
A man came up to me and said
As I tried to call for help
But I'd rather be whistling in the dark
Whistling in the dark
(Whistling)
What you know how to do well
Whistling in the dark
She looked at me, I looked at something
And I've often been told that you only can do
Whistling
And I've often been told that you only can do
Be like yourself

"Though I am not unkind"
Dark

And that's be you
Whistling in the dark
Whistling in the dark
And these are the words that it faintly said
Whistling in the dark
There's only one thing that I know how to do well
And hit my head on the wall of the jail
Where the two of us live today
And that's be you
And so I'm having a wonderful time
But I'd rather be whistling in the dark
And so I'm having a wonderful time
Whistling in the dark
(Dark)
With wrong ideas that appeal to you

Whistling in the dark
And I've often been told that you only can do
What you know how to do well
(Dark)
