Mr. Wu's a Window Cleaner Now Lyrics
Mr. Wu's a Window Cleaner Now - George Formby
Mr Wu no longer has a laundry
Sad to say the business was flop
He shouted 'what a hope'
As he chewed a bar of soap
And then put up the shutters of the shop
Said Mr Wu "What shall I do "
And Mr Wu's a window cleaner now
The laundry it didn't pay
Now there's no clean collars down Limehouse Way
When he goes out working interest he arouses
Polishing the windows with worn-out ladies blouses
He wears a pair of Cami nicks to save his Sunday trousers
Cos Mr Wu's a window cleaner now
Now little Chinese wifie each day is getting madder
Tearing her silk stockings her husband makes her sadder
All day long he wants to keep on running up the ladder
'Cos Mr Wu's a window cleaner now
Cos the high ladder's high in one road too
He had his eyesight tested a most important matter
Through a bathroom window a lady he peeps at her
His eyesights getting better but his nose is getting flatter
'Cos Mr Wu's a window cleaner now
Said Mr Wu "What Shall I do "
And Mr Wu's a window cleaner now
The laundry it didn't pay
Now there's no clean collars down Limehouse Way
Customers he's washed for now are in bad humours
They feel quite neglected and I've heard the rumours
Lots of girls on winter nights
Go out without their garters
'Cos Mr Wu's a window cleaner now
