Fitzgerald, Ella - Five O'Clock Whistle Lyrics
The five o'clock whistle's on the blink
The whistle won't blow and whadd'ya think?
My pop is still in the factory 'cause he don't know
What time it happens to be
The whistle is broke and whadda'ya know?
If somebody don't find out what's wrong
Oh, my pop'll be workin' all night long
Oh, who's gonna fix the whistle?
Won't somebody fix the whistle?
Oh, who's gonna fix the whistle?
So my poor old pop will know it's time for him to stop
Ya ought to hear what my mommy said
And told her he worked till half past two
'Cause the five o'clock whistle never blew

I grew up in Highlandtown in Baltimore in the 50's and our row house, (with white marble steps), was close to several can companies, and we would hear the whistles every day. My Mom, who was a fine singer, would start singing this song whenever the whistle blew!
The sound of the factories, the arabbers singing down the alley, "Tomatoes, Cantalopes and Waaaatermelons, and my favorite, the jingle of snow chains on Winter mornings singing "No school today!" God how I miss those times!
Great song ...
By the greatest ...
What a voice! SING IT ELLA!
I just love this version. Thanks so much for posting.
