It can be done · Chapter 37Just Whistle
This chapter is not translated yet. You are reading the original.
There is a psychological benefit in the mere physical act of whistling. When the body makes music, the spirit falls into harmonies too and the discords that assail us cease to make themselves heard.
When times are bad an' folks are sad An' gloomy day by day, Jest try your best at lookin' glad An' whistle 'em away.
Don't mind how troubles bristle, Jest take a rose or thistle. Hold your own An' change your tone An' whistle, whistle, whistle!
A song is worth a world o' sighs. When red the lightnings play, Look for the rainbow in the skies An' whistle 'em away.
Don't mind how troubles bristle, The rose comes with the thistle. Hold your own An' change your tone An' whistle, whistle, whistle!
Each day comes with a life that's new, A strange, continued story But still beneath a bend o' blue The world rolls on to glory.
Don't mind how troubles bristle, Jest take a rose or thistle. Hold your own An' change your tone An' whistle, whistle, whistle!
