“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.
