Whistling Down The Wind

There are times when the double act of Gordon and Alastair remind me of the scene in “The King And I” when the lovely Deborah Kerr, and her son Louis are struck with fear on their arrival in an unknown land. They sing “Whistle A Happy Tune”, which just about sums up economic policy at the moment. The clip of the film is out of sync’ which is appropriate.

[ANNA/GORDON]
Whenever I feel afraid
I hold my head erect
And whistle a happy tune
So no one will suspect
I'm afraid.
While shivering in my shoes
I strike a careless pose
And whistle a happy tune
And no one ever knows
I'm afraid.
The result of this deception
Is very strange to tell
For when I fool the people
I fear I fool myself as well!
I whistle a happy tune
And ev'ry single time
The happiness in the tune
Convinces me that I'm not afraid.
Make believe you're brave
And the trick will take you far.
You may be as brave
As you make believe you are
You may be as brave
As you make believe you are
[LOUIS/ALASTAIR]
While shivering in my shoes
I strike a careless pose
And whistle a happy tune
And no one ever knows,
I'm afraid.
[LOUIS AND ANNA]
The result of this deception
Is very strange to tell
For when I fool the people
I fear I fool myself as well!
I whistle a happy tune
And ev'ry single time
The happiness in the tune
Convinces me that I'm not afraid.
Make believe you're brave
And the trick will take you far.
You may be as brave
As you make believe you are....
