Copied!edit Lyrics
original text at lyrnow.com/1963538
Now I go cleanin' windows to earn an honest bob
For a nosy parker it's an interesting job
Well, 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 cleanin' windows

Honeymoonin' couples too
You should see them bill and coo
You'd be surprised at things they do
When I'm cleanin' windows

In my profession I'll work hard
But I'll never stop
I'll climb this blinking ladder
'Til 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 cleanin' windows

The chambermaids' sweet namеs I call
It's a wonder I don't fall
Me mind's not on me work at all
Whеn I'm cleanin' windows
The newlyweds at number six
The bedroom curtains, they can't fix
They do some lovely parlor tricks
When I'm cleanin' windows

In my profession I'll work hard
But I'll never stop
I'll climb this blinking ladder
'Til I get right to the top

Pajamas lying side by side
Ladies' nighties I have spied
I've often seen what goes inside
(When he's cleanin' windows)

Now there's this famous movie queen
And he looks quite tasty on the screen
He's more like eighty than eighteen
(When he's cleanin' windows)

He pulls his hair all down behind
Then pulls out his... (Never mind)
And after that pulls down the blind
(When he's cleanin' windows)

In my profession I'll work hard
I'll never stop
I'll climb this blinking ladder
'Til I get right to the top
An old maid walks around the floor
And she's so fed up, one day I'm sure
She'll drag me in and lock the door
(When he's cleanin' windows)

When I'm cleanin' windows
When we're cleanin' windows

Deetle leetle leet dee
