Oh [F]I go window cleaning to [G7]earn an honest bob
[C]For a nosey parker it's an interesting [F]job
Now [F]it's a job that [F7]just suits me,
a [Bb]window cleaner [G7]you would be
If [F]you could see what [D7]I can see,
[Db7]when I'm cleaning [F]windows
The [F]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
In [A7]my profession I work hard,
[D7]but I'll never stop.
I'll [G7]climb this blinking ladder 'til
I [C]get right to the [C7]top
The [F]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
The [F]chambermaid sweet [F7]names I call,
[Bb]it's a wonder [G7]I don't fall
Me [F]mind’s not on me [D7]work at all,
[Db7]when I'm cleaning [F]windows
I [F]know a fellow [F7]such a swell,
he [Bb]has a 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]All day up this ladder
I’m as [D7]happy as can be
It’s [G7]not my fault I see a lot of [C]things
I shouldn’t [C7]see
Py-[F]jamas 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
Now [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
She [F]pulls her hair all [F7]down behind,
[Bb]then pulls down her, [G7]never mind
[F]After that pulls [D7]down the blind,
[Db7]when I'm cleaning [F]windows
[A7]All day up this ladder
I’m as [D7]happy as can be
It’s [G7]not my fault I see a lot of [C]things
I shouldn’t [C7]see
At [F]↓ 8 o’clock, a [F7]↓ girl she wakes,
at [Bb]↓ 5 past 8, a [G7]↓ bath she takes
At [F]↓ 10 past 8, me [D7]↓ ladder breaks,
[Db7]when I'm cleaning [F]windows
|: [F] [F7] [Bb] [G7] [F] [D7] [Db7]
when I’m cleaning [F]windows [F]↓ [C7]↓ [F]↓
