[INTRO]
Bb Bb7 | Eb Gb7 |
Bb Bb7 | Gb7 Bb |
Now [Bb]I go cleanin' [Bb7]windows to [C]earn an honest [C7]bob
[F7]For a nosy parker it's an [F7]interestin' [Bb]job
[A1]
Now [Bb]it's a job that [Bb7]just suits me
A [Eb]window cleaner [Gb7]you would be
If [Bb]you can see what [Bb7]I can see
[Gb7]When I'm cleanin' [Bb]windows
[A2]
[Bb]Honeymoonin' [Bb7]couples too
[Eb]You should see them [Gb7]bill 'n coo
You'd [Bb]be surprised at [Bb7]things they do
[Gb]When I'm cleanin' [Bb]windows
[B1]
In [D7]my profession I'll work hard
[G7]But I'll never stop
I'll [C7]climb this blinkin' ladder
Till I [F7]get right [Db7]to the [F7]top
[A3]
The [Bb]blushin' bride, she [Bb7]looks divine
The [Eb]bridegroom he is [Gb7]do - in' fine
I'd [Bb]rather have his [Bb7]job than mine
[Gb]When I'm cleanin' [Bb]windows
[A1-2]
The [Bb]chambermaids' sweet [Bb7]names I call
[Eb]It's a wonder [Gb7]I don't fall
My [Bb]mind's not on my [Bb7]work at all
[Gb7]When I'm cleanin' [Bb]windows
[A2-2]
I [Bb]know a fella, [Bb7]such a swell
He [Eb]has a thirst, that's [Gb7]plain to tell
I've [Bb]seen him drink his [Bb7]bath as well
[Gb7]When I'm cleanin' [Bb]windows
[B1-2]
Oh, in [D7]my profession I'll work hard
[G7]But I'll never stop
I'll [C7]climb this blinkin' ladder
Till I [F7]get right [Db7]to the [F7]top
[A3-2]
Py[Bb]jamas lyin' [Bb7]side by side
[Eb]Ladies nighties [Gb7]I have spied
I've [Bb]often seen what [Bb7]goes inside
[Gb7]When I'm cleanin' [Bb]windows
[INTERLUDE]

[A1-3]
Now [Bb]there's a famous [Bb7]talkie queen
She [Eb]looks a flapper [Gb7]on the screen
She's [Bb]more like eighty [Bb7]than eighteen
[Gb7]When I'm cleanin' [Bb]windows
[A2-3]
She [Bb]pulls her hair all [Bb7]down behind
Then [Eb]pulls down her... [Gb7]Never mind
And [Bb]after that pulls [Bb7]down the blind
[Gb7]When I'm cleanin' [Bb]windows
[B1-3]
In [D7]my profession I'll work hard
[G7]But I'll never stop
I'll [C7]climb this blinkin' ladder
Till I [F7]get right [Db7]to the [F7]top
[A3-3]
An [Bb]old maid walks a[Bb7]round the floor
She's [Eb]so fed up, one [Gb7]day I'm sure
She'll [Bb]drag me in and [Bb7]lock the door
[Gb7]When I'm cleanin' [Bb]windows
