When I'm Cleaning Windows

When I'm Cleaning Windows - George Formby

Now I go cleaning windows to earn an honest bob

For a nosy parker it's an interestin' job

Now it's a job that just suits me

A window cleaner you would be

If you can see what I can see

When I'm cleaning windows

Honeymooning couples too

You should see them bill 'n coo

You'd be surprised at things they do

When I'm cleaning windows

In my profession I'll work hard

But I'll never stop

I'll climb this blinking ladder

Till I get right to the top

The blushing bride she looks divine

The bridegroom he is doing fine

I'd rather have his job than mine

When I'm cleaning windows

The chambermaids' sweet names I call

It's a wonder I don't fall

My mind's not on my work at all

When I'm cleaning windows

I know a fella such a swell

He has a thirst that's plain to tell

I've seen him drink his bath as well

When I'm cleaning windows

Oh in my profession I'll work hard

But I'll never stop

I'll climb this blinking ladder

Till I get right to the top

Pyjamas lying side by side

Ladies nighties I have spied

I've often seen what goes inside

When I'm cleaning windows

Now there's a famous talkie queen

She looks a flapper on the screen

She's more like eightie than eighteen

When I'm cleaning windows

She pulls her hair all down behind

Then pulls down her never mind

And after that pulls down the blind

When I'm cleaning windows

In my profession I'll work hard

But I'll never stop

I'll climb this blinking ladder

Till I get right to the top

An old maid walks around the floor

She's so fed up one day I'm sure

She'll drag me in and lock the door

When I'm cleaning windows

When I'm cleaning windows
