A Whistle for Willy

oh how peter wished he could whistle

he saw a boy playing with his dog

whenever the boy whistled

[Music]

the dog ran straight to him

peter tried and tried to whistle

but he couldn't so instead

he began to turn himself around

turn around and around faster and faster

and faster and faster

when he stopped everything turned

down and up and up and down

and round

[Music]

peter saw his dog willy coming quick as

a wink

he hid in an empty carton lying on the

sidewalk

wouldn't it be funny if i whistled peter

thought

willy would stop and look around to see

who it was

peter tried again to whistle

ugh but still he couldn't

so willie just walked on

peter got out of the carton and started

home on the way

he took some colored chalks out of his

pocket and he drew a long

long line and he did a circle

right up to his door he stood there

and he tried to whistle again

he blew till his cheeks were tired

nothing happened

he went into his house and he put on his

father's old hat to make himself feel

more grown

up he looked into the mirror to practice

whistling

still no whistle

when his mother saw what he was doing

peter pretended that he was his father

he said

i've come home early today dear is peter

here

his mother dancer why no he's outside

with willy

well i'll go look for him then said

peter

first he walked along a crack in the

sidewalk

then he tried to run away from his

shadow

he jumped off his shadow but when he

landed bam

they were together again he came to the

corner where the carton was

and who should he see but really

peter scrambled under the carton he blew

in blue and blue

and suddenly out came a

real whistle

willie stopped to look around and see

who it was

it's me peter shouted and stood up

willie raced right to him

peter ran home to show his father and

mother what he could do

they loved peter's whistling so did

willie

peter's mother asked him and willie to

go on an errand to the grocery store

he whistled all the way there

and he whistled all the way home

you're tricky the end

that was great that was terrific

yeah what do you think was the first

thing
