Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Now I go cleaning windows
To earn an honest bulb
For a nosey parker, it's an interesting job
Now, it's a job that just suits me, a window cleaner you would be
If you could see what I can see, when I'm cleaning windows
[Chorus]
Honeymoon and couples too, you should see them billing too
You'd be surprised at things they do, when I'm cleaning windows
In my profession I'll work hard, but I'll never stop
I'll climb this blinking ladder, till I get right to the top
[Verse 2]
The blushing bride, she looks divine the bride groom he is doing fine
I'd rather have his job than mine, when I'm cleaning windows
The chamber maid, sweet names I call, It's a wonder I don't fall
My minds not on my work at all, when I'm cleaning windows
[Chorus]
I know a fella such is swell, he has a thirst, that's plain to tell
I've seen him drink his bath as well, when I'm cleaning windows
Oh, in my profession I'll work hard, but I'll never stop
I'll climb this blinking ladder, till I get right to the top
[Verse 3]
Pajamas lying side by side, ladies' night, as I have spied
I have often seen what goes inside, when I'm cleaning windows
[Verse 4]
Now there's a famous talkie queen
She looks so looks so flapper on the screen
She's more like eighty than eighteen, when I'm cleaning windows
She pulls her hair all down behind, then pulls down her, never mind
And after that pulls down the blind, when I'm cleaning windows
[Chorus]
In my profession I work hard, but I will never stop
I'll climb this blinking ladder till I get right to the top
[Verse 5]
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 cleaning windows
When I'm cleaning windows
