Cliffe - as recorded September 27, 1936 by George Formby (1904-1961) Now I go cleanin' 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 cleanin' windows Honeymoonin' couples too You should see them bill 'n 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 blinkin' ladder Till I get right to the top The blushin' bride, she looks divine The bridegroom he is doin' fine I'd rather have his job than mine When I'm cleanin' 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 cleanin' 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 cleanin' windows Oh, in my profession I'll work hard But I'll never stop I'll climb this blinkin' ladder Till I get right to the top Pyjamas lyin' side by side Ladies nighties I have spied I've often seen what goes inside When I'm cleanin' windows ------ banjo ------ Now there's a famous talkie queen She looks a flapper on the screen She's more like eightie than eighteen When I'm cleanin' windows She pulls her hair all down behind Then pulls down her... never mind And after that pulls down the blind When I'm cleanin' windows In my profession I'll work hard But I'll never stop I'll climb this blinkin' 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 cleanin' windows When I'm cleanin' windows ------------------------------------------------------------- Glossary -------- bob: an informal word for a shilling, a British coin worth one twentieth of a pound nosy parker: a prying person bill 'n coo: "bill" means to kiss and whisper amorously; "coo" means to murmur lovingly swell: remarkable person talkie: an early film with a soundtrack; a "talking picture" flapper: (in the 1920s) a young woman, especially one flaunting her unconventional behaviour old maid: a woman regarded as unlikely ever to marry; a spinster Related Lyrics Random lyrics: I Give You My Word, Nothing, Polyserena, Rain, Release, Run, Sellout, Spawn, Special Ones, Strange Days, Thats When You Come To Me, To The Void, Truth, Whats Holding Me, S Wonderful, A Woman Is A Sometime Thing, But Not for Me, Crazy For You, Embraceable You, Embraceable You, How Long Has This Been Going On?, I Got Rhythm, Ill Build a Stairway to Paradise, Ive Got A Crush On You, It Aint Necessarily So, Life Is Just A Bowl Of Cherries, Love Walked In, Nice Work If You Can Get It, Oh, Lady Be Good, Our Love Is Here To Stay, Somebody Loves Me, Someone to Watch over Me, Summertime, Swanee, The Man I Love, They All Laughed, They Cant Take That Away from Me, A Rose and a Baby Ruth, Abilene, Above And Beyond (the Call Of Love), Baby Blue Eyes, Back To Denver, Big Big Love, Candy Apple Red, Changes, China Doll, Come On Home Boy, Did She Mention My Name, Driftwood On The River, Early Morning Rain, Other George Formby song Lyrics A Farmers Boy Lyrics A Lad From Lancashire Lyrics All Going Back Lyrics American Medley Lyrics Andy The Handy Man Lyrics As The Hours and The Days And The Weeks.......
