When I'm Cleaning Windows

Song :
F
Bb                Bb7
Now I go cleaning windows 
Eb               C7
to earn an honest bob. 
F7
For a nosey parker 
                    Bb
it's an interesting job

Bb                  Bb7               
Now it's a job that just suits me, 
Eb                C7              
A window cleaner you will be. 
   Bb                 G7           
If you could see what I can see 
Gb7                 Bb        
When I'm cleaning windows.

Bb               Bb7             
The honeymooning couples too, 
Eb                  C7               
You should see them bill and coo. 
      Bb                G7                
You'd be surprised at things they do 
Gb7                 Bb        
When I'm cleaning windows.

D7                         G7                      
In my profession I work hard, but I'll never stop. 
C7                              F                   F7     
I'll climb this blinking ladder 'til I get right to the top.

Bb                     Bb7              
The blushing bride she looks divine, 
    Eb               C7            
The bridegroom he is doing fine 
    Bb               G7               
I'd rather have his job than mine 
Gb7               Bb        
When I'm cleaning windows.

Bb                    Bb7              
The chambermaid sweet names I call, 
       Eb     C7               
It's a wonder I don't fall. 
   Bb              G7             
My minds not on my work at all 
Gb7                Bb       
When I'm cleaning windows

Bb              Bb7              
I know a fellow such a swell, 
         Eb         C7                
He has a thirst it's plain to tell. 
     Bb              G7              
I've seen him drink his bath as well 
Gb7                Bb       
When I'm cleaning windows

D7                         G7                      
In my profession I work hard, but I'll never stop. 
C7                              F                   F7     
I'll climb this blinking ladder 'til I get right to the top.

Bb            Bb7             
Pyjamas lying side by side 
Eb          C7               
ladies nighties I have spied. 
     Bb               G7              
I've often seen what goes inside, 
Gb7               Bb        
when I'm cleaning windows.

Bb              Bb7              
There's a famous talkie queen, 
Eb              C7                
looks a flapper on the screen. 
      Bb               G7                
She's more like eighty than eighteen 
Gb7               Bb        
When I'm cleaning windows.

Bb                   Bb7             
She pulls her hair all down behind, 
     Eb              C7            
Then pulls down her, never mind 
      Bb          G7                
After that pulls down the blind 
Gb7                Bb        
When I'm cleaning windows.

D7                         G7                      
In my profession I work hard, but I'll never stop. 
C7                              F                    F7     
I'll climb this blinking ladder 'til I get right to the top.

Bb               Bb7                
At eight o'clock a girl she wakes, 
Eb                C7                 
At five past eight a bath she takes. 
Gb7                Bb        
When I'm cleaning windows.
Db7                F         
When I'm cleaning windows.
