When I'm Cleaning Windows Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][G][C][Eb]
[G][G][Eb][G]
Now [G]I go cleanin' windows
to [A]earn an honest bob
[D]For a nosy parker it's an interestin' [G]job

[Verse 1]
Now [G]it's a job that just suits me
A [C]window cleaner [Eb]you would be
If [G]you can see what I can see
[Eb]When I'm cleanin' [G]windows
[G]Honeymoonin' couples too
[C]You should see them [Eb]bill 'n coo
You'd [G]be surprised at things they do
[Eb]When I'm cleanin' [G]windows

[Bridge 1]
In [B]my profession I'll work hard
[E]But I'll never stop
I'll [A]climb this blinkin' ladder
Till I [D]get right to the top

[Verse 2]
The [G]blushin' bride, she looks divine
The [C]bridegroom he is [Eb]doin' fine
I'd [G]rather have his job than mine
[Eb]When I'm cleanin' [G]windows

[Verse 3]
The [G]chambermaids' sweet names I call
[C]It's a wonder [Eb]I don't fall
My [G]mind's not on my work at all
[Eb]When I'm cleanin' [G]windows
I [G]know a fella, such a swell
He [C]has a thirst, that's [Eb]plain to tell
I've [G]seen him drink his bath as well
[Eb]When I'm cleanin' [G]windows

[Bridge 2]
Oh, in [B]my profession I'll work hard
[E]But I'll never stop
I'll [A]climb this blinkin' ladder
Till I [D]get right to the top

[Verse 4]
Py[G]jamas lyin' side by side
[C]Ladies nighties [Eb]I have spied
I've [G]often seen what goes inside
[Eb]When I'm cleanin' [G]windows

[Verse 5]
Now [G]there's a famous talkie queen
She [C]looks a flapper [Eb]on the screen
She's [G]more like eightie than eighteen
[Eb]When I'm cleanin' [G]windows
She [G]pulls her hair all down behind
[C]Then pulls down her, [Eb]never mind
And [G]after that pulls down the blind
[Eb]When I'm cleanin' [G]windows

[Bridge 3]
In [B]my profession I'll work hard
[E]But I'll never stop
I'll [A]climb this blinkin' ladder
Till I [D]get right to the top

[Verse 6]
An [G]old maid walks around the floor
She's [C]so fed up, one [Eb]day I'm sure
She'll [G]drag me in and lock the door
[Eb]When I'm cleanin' [G]windows
