Lyrics

1. Whistle Mary, whistle and you shall have a cow.
I cannot whistle, Mother, because I don’t know how.

2. Whistle Mary, whistle, and you shall have a pig.
I cannot whistle, Mother, because I am too big.

3. Whistle Mary, whistle, and you shall have a sheep.
I cannot whistle, Mother, because I am asleep.

4. Whistle Mary, whistle, and you shall have a man.
I can whistle, Mother I just found out I can!
