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 F]Now it's a job that [F7 F7] just suits me,
[Bb Bb] A A window cleaner [G7 G7] you will be.
If [F F] you could see what [D7 D7] I can see
[Db7 Db7] When I'm cleaning [F F] windows.

[F F] The honeymooning [F7 F7] couples too,
[Bb Bb] You should see them [G7 G7] bill and coo.
You'd [F F] be surprised at [D7 D7] things they do
[Db7 Db7] When I'm cleaning [F F] windows.

[A7 A7] In my profession I work hard, [D7 D7] but I'll never stop.
[G7 G7] I'll climb this blinking ladder [C C] 'til I get right to the [C7 C7] top.

[F F] The blushing bride she [F7 F7] looks divine,
The [Bb Bb] bridegroom he is [G7 G7] doing fine
I'd [F F] rather have his [D7 D7] job than mine
[Db7 Db7] When I'm cleaning [F F] windows.

[F F] The chambermaid sweet [F7 F7] names I call,
It's a [Bb Bb] wonder [G7 G7] I don't fall.
My [F F]minds not on my [D7 D7] work at all
[Db7 Db7] When I'm cleaning [F F] windows

[F F] I know a fellow [F7 F7] such a swell,
He has a [Bb Bb] thirst it's [G7 G7] plain to tell.
I've [F F] seen him drink his [D7 D7] bath as well
[Db7 Db7] When I'm cleaning [F F] windows

[A7 A7] In my profession I work hard, [D7 D7] but I'll never stop.
[G7 G7] I'll climb this blinking ladder [C C] 'til I get right to the [C7 C7] top.

[F F] Pyjamas lying [F7 F7] side by side
[Bb Bb] ladies nighties [G7 G7]I have spied.
I've [F F] often seen what [D7 D7] goes inside,
[Db7 Db7] when I'm cleaning [F F] windows.

[F F] There's a famous [F7 F7] talkie queen,
[Bb Bb] looks a flapper [G7 G7] on the screen.
She's [F F] more like eighty [D7 D7 ]than eighteen
[Db7 Db7] When I'm cleaning [F F] windows.

[F F] She pulls her hair all [F7 F7] down behind,
Then [Bb Bb] pulls down her, [G7 G7] never mind
After [F F] that pulls [D7 D7] down the blind
[Db7 Db7] When I'm cleaning [F F] windows.

[A7 A7] In my profession I work hard, [D7 D7] but I'll never stop.
[G7 G7] I'll climb this blinking ladder [C C]'til I get right to the [C7 C7] top.

[F F]At eight o'clock a [F7 F7] girl she wakes,
[Bb Bb] At five past eight a [G7 G7] bath she takes.
[Db7 Db7]When I'm cleaning [F F] windows.
