Anti-whistling songs

Does anyone here know a song with clear lyrics along the lines of 'for the love of god shut up, you whistling git'? I'm currently being awoken at 8am every morning, and kept awake until the end of the working day, by an overexuberant construction worker who apparently has never heard a single song in his entire life, and I want to communicate with him via song.

Tom Waits' "Whistlin' Past the Graveyard" for a (VERY) subtle implied threat?

Jamie, if you managed to find a real horrid cover of "Whistle While You Work"... !

"Whistling in the Dark" by They Might Be Giants.
Played at 11.
On repeat.
From 7am to 11pm.

"Whistle While You Work"

I initially read that as "Whistle While You Wank" and was highly amused.

I have exactly the same problem! Tuneless whistling idiot outside my window. Normally, I quite like whistling. Shows a certain devil-may-care exuberance. Kind of retro without being fashionable, too. But, damn, this guy's gotta stick a cork in it sometime.

There is a cover of "whistle while you work" by NRBQ on the Disneytunes compilation "Stay Awake". Unfortunately it's quite nice. The whistling at the end is a bit random, which might unfortunately be taken as encouragement by the folks we're trying to shut up.

The folk song "Whistlestop"?
