"Whistle Boeing" lyrics

"Whistle Boeing"

You can know a lot
You can know a little
But whatever you know
Just don't blow the whistle

Joshua Dean had a memory keen
He was strong and he ran every day
But his lungs turned to goo
And he had a stroke too
At 46, he was sent on his way
Oh, and Swampy Barnett loved his mama
And he took a lot of pride in his work
He found 300 reasons a plane couldn't fly
And now he's over his head in the dirt

You can know a lot
You can know a little
But whatever you know
Just don't blow the whistle
You can toot a flute
You can play the fiddle
But whatever you do
Just don't blow the whistle, alright

Boeing's got planes in the sky
Yeah, but Boeing's got men on the ground
Oh, you mess with the shares buddy beware
They can make sure that you land safe and sound
They keep cutting their deals with the FAA, USA, fantastic lawyers of law
A little blip of the whistle
Cuts their bonus a little
But you can't never see what you never did saw

You can know a lot
You can know a little
But whatever you know
Just don't blow the whistle
You can toot a flute
You can play a fiddle
But whatever you do
Just don't blow the whistle

You can know a lot
You can know a little
But whatever you know
Just don't blow the whistle
You can toot a flute
You can play the fiddle
But whatever you do
Just don't blow the whistle

Your life can be trash, completely dismal
It could always be worse if you just blow the whistle
