The carwash on the corner and the hole in the street

The way my ankles hurt with shoes on my feet

And I'm wondering if I'm gonna see tom orrow

Father forgive us for what we must do

Then we'll whistle and go fishing in Heaven

I was in the army but I never dug a trench
C G D
I used to bust my knuckles on a monkey wrench
G C
Then I'd go to town and drink and give the girls a pinch
G D G
But I don't think they ever even noticed me
(Repeat Chorus)
D
Fish and whistle
Whistle and fish
G
Eat every thing that they put on your dish
C G
And when we get through we'll make a big wish
A7 D7
That we never have to do this again
Again? Again???
G C G
On my very first job I said "thank you" and "please"
C G D
They made me scrub a parking lot down on my knees

Then I got fired for being scared of bees
G D G
And they only give me fifty cents and hour
Repeat Chorus
