When I'm Cleaning Windows George Formby - written by George Formby, Harry Gifford and Frederick E. Cliffe September 27, 1936 by George Formby (1904-1961) I've done this in barre chords and it's intermediate 'cause of the speed. Intro: Ab.Ab Ab.Ab.Ab E7.E7 Eb7 Ab Bb Now I go cleanin' windows to earn an honest bob Eb Ab For a nosy parker it's an interestin' job Ab Ab7 Now it's a job that just suits me C# E7 A window cleaner you would be Ab If you can see what I can see E7 Ab 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 CHORUS Eb7 In my profession I'll work hard F But I'll never stop Bb I'll climb this blinkin' ladder Eb 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 ------ Verses Chords ------ 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 (Chorus) 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
