"When I'm Cleaning Windows" by George Formby
I go window cleaning to earn an honest bob.
For a nosey parker it's an interesting job
[F]Now it's a job that [F7]
just suits me,
[Bb] A window cleaner [G7]
you will be.
If [F] you could see what [D7]
I can see
[Db7] When I'm cleaning [F]
windows.
[F] The honeymooning [F7]
couples too,
[Bb] You should see them [G7]
bill and coo.
You'd [F] be surprised at [D7]
things they do
[Db7] When I'm cleaning [F]
windows.
[A7] In my profession I work hard, [D7]
but I'll never stop.
[G7] I'll climb this blinking ladder [C]
'til I get right to the [C7] top.
[F] The blushing bride she [F7]
looks divine,
The [Bb] bridegroom he is [G7]
doing fine
I'd [F] rather have his [D7]
job than mine
[Db7] When I'm cleaning [F]
windows.
[F] The chambermaid sweet [F7]
names I call,
It's a [Bb] wonder [G7]
I don't fall.
My [F]minds not on my [D7]
work at all
[Db7] When I'm cleaning [F]
windows
[F] I know a fellow [F7]
such a swell,
He has a [Bb] thirst it's [G7]
plain to tell.
I've [F] seen him drink his [D7]
bath as well
[Db7] When I'm cleaning [F]
windows
[A7] In my profession I work hard, [D7]
but I'll never stop.
[G7] I'll climb this blinking ladder [C]
'til I get right to the [C7] top.
[F] Pyjamas lying [F7]
side by side
[Bb] ladies nighties [G7]I
have spied.
I've [F] often seen what [D7]
goes inside,
[Db7] when I'm cleaning [F]
windows.
[F] There's a famous [F7]
talkie queen,
[Bb] looks a flapper [G7]
on the screen.
She's [F] more like eighty [D7 ]than
eighteen
[Db7] When I'm cleaning [F]
windows.
[F] She pulls her hair all [F7]
down behind,
Then [Bb] pulls down her, [G7]
never mind
After [F] that pulls [D7]
down the blind
[Db7] When I'm cleaning [F]
windows.
[A7] In my profession I work hard, [D7]
but I'll never stop.
[G7] I'll climb this blinking ladder [C]'til
I get right to the [C7] top.
[F]At eight o'clock a [F7]
girl she wakes,
[Bb] At five past eight a [G7]
bath she takes.
[Db7]When I'm cleaning [F]
windows.
