[Verse 1]
Often I think this sad, old world
Is whistling in the dark
Just like a child, who, late from school
Goes bravely home through the park
To keep their spirits soaring
And keep the night at bay
Neither quite knowing which way they are going
They sing their troubles away

[Piano Solo]

[Verse 2]
And when I think my sweet old heart
Should give it up for good
That's when I see a brand new face
I glimpse some new neighborhood
So walk me back home, my darling
Tell me dreams really come true
Whistling, ooh, whistling
Here in the dark with you
