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 suits me,
[Eb] A window cleaner [Gb] you would be,
[Bb] If you can see what I can see.
[Gb] When I'm cleaning [Bb]
windows,
Honeymooning [Eb] couples too,
You should see [Gb] them bill and coo,
[Bb] You'd be surprised at things they do.
[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] The blushing bride, she looks [Eb] divine,
The bridegroom he [Gb] is doing fine,
[Bb] 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 [Bb] cleaning windows,
I know a fella such a [Eb] swell,
He has a thirst that's [Bb] plain to tell,
I've seen him drink his bath as [Gb] 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 lie in 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
[Eb] [Gb]
[Bb] [Gb]
[Gm] Now [Eb] [Gb]
[Bb] [Gb] [Bb]
[D] [G]
[C] [A]
[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 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,
[Gb] One day I'm sure [Bb] she'll drag me in
And lock the door.
[Gb] When I'm [Bb] cleaning windows
[Eb] [Gb]
When [Bb] [Gb] [Bb]
I'm [D] cleaning windows
