Wooden Whistle Man

[Verse 1] Hey, wooden whistle man Whittles wooden whistles for the kids Future's short on time to give Strikes up a conversation Hey, wooden whistle man Eager to share his opinion Licks his finger, spits in the wind Point me in the right direction Hey, wooden whistle man Whittles wooden whistles in his garden Safe place to escape Falls in love all over again Hey, wooden whistle man Brand new suit jacket and pants Whistles at the women in style Dressed for success and romance I bought your slacks for a quarter At a thrift store down the street Put a patch on the knee, called it my steez Tonight we make history Mic check, one, two, take me back Whistle man songs from the past Mom smiles, children laugh We take notes for future scraps [Hook] La-di-da, la-di-di-da, hanging on Nostalgia keeps you from Old age, yesterday Walk away when the feeling's gone [Verse 2] Hey, wooden whistle man Sees the son he abandoned I'm willing to listen Even if I'm not him Whistle why you work it out Abstract summary Flash back, scrapbook Photo shopping memories Lullabies 'til we lose our mind Got old one song at a time World changed one song at a time Album died one song at a time Nothing's beautiful anymore Sings out his favorite show tune Tonight something classical is brand new [Hook x3] [Outro] Nostalgia keeps us from old age Can't get away from yesterday
