Start Jamming...
[Bb] [Eb] [Gb]
[Bb] [Gb] [Bb]
Now I go cleaning windows [C] to earn an honest bob
[F] For a nosy parker it's an interesting [Bb] job
Now it's a job that just [Eb] suits me
A window cleaner [Gb] you would be [Bb] if you can see what I can see
[Gb] When I'm cleaning [Bb]
windows, [D] honeymooning couples [Eb] too
You should see [Gb] them bill and cue, [Bb] you'd be surprised at things they do
[Gb] When I'm [Bb] cleaning windows [D] in my profession
I'll work [G] hard but I'll never stop
[C] I'll climb this blinking ladder till [F] I get right to the top
[Bb] The blushing bride, she looks [Eb] divine
The bridegroom, he [Gb] is doing [Bb] fine
I'd rather have his job than [Gb] mine
When I'm [Bb] cleaning windows, the chambermaid's sweet [Eb] names I call
It's a [Gb] wonder I don't [Bb] fall, my mind's not on my work at [Gb] all
When I'm [Gm] cleaning windows, I [Bb] know a fella's such a [Eb] swell
He has a thirst that's [Bb] plain to tell
I've seen him drink his bath [Gb] as well
When I'm [Bb] cleaning windows, [D] oh in my profession
I'll [G] work hard but I'll never stop
[E] I'll climb this blinking ladder [F] till I get right to the top
[Bb] Pyjamas lying side [Eb] by side, ladies, [Gb] knighties I have [Bb] spied
I've often seen what goes inside [Gb] when I'm cleaning [Bb] windows
Now [Eb] [Gb]
[Bb] [Gb]
[Bb] [Eb] [Gb]
[Bb] [Gb] [Gm]
[D] [G]
[C] [F]
[Bb] [Eb] [Gb]
[Gm] [Gb] [Gm]
there's a famous talkie queen
[Eb] She looks a [Gb] flapper on the screen
[Gm] She's more like eighty than eighteen
[Gb] When I'm cleaning [Bb]
windows, she pulls her hair [D] all down behind
[Cm] Then pulls down [Gb] her never mind
[Bb] And after that pulls down the blind
[Gb] When I'm cleaning [Bb]
windows, [D] in my profession
I'll work [G] hard but I'll never stop
[E] I'll climb this blinking ladder till [F] I get right to the top
[Bb] An old maid walks around the floor
[Eb] She's so fed up, [Bb] one day I'm sure
She'll drag me in and lock the door
[Gb] When I'm [Bb] cleaning windows
[Eb] [Gb]
[Bb] [Gb] [Bb]
[G] When I'm cleaning windows
