When i'm cleaning windows

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
{Refrain:}
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
{au Refrain}
Pyjamas lyin´ side by side
Ladies nighties I have spied
I´ve often seen what goes inside
When I´m cleanin´ 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 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
{au Refrain}
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
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
{Refrain:}
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

When I´m cleanin´ windows
