When I'm Cleaning Windows

Chords

When I'm Cleaning Windows" by George Formby
I go window cleaning to earn an honest bob. 
For a nosey parker it's an interesting job

[F]Now it's a job that [F7] just suits me, 
[Bb] A window cleaner [G7] you will be. 
If [F] you could see what [D7] I can see 
[Db7] When I'm cleaning [F] windows.

[F] The honeymooning [F7] couples too, 
[Bb] You should see them [G7] bill and coo. 
You'd [F] be surprised at [D7] things they do 
[Db7] When I'm cleaning [F] windows.

[A7] In my profession I work hard, [D7] but I'll never stop. 
[G7] I'll climb this blinking ladder [C] 'til I get right to the [C7] top.

[F] The blushing bride she [F7] looks divine, 
The [Bb] bridegroom he is [G7] doing fine 
I'd [F] rather have his [D7] job than mine 
[Db7] When I'm cleaning [F] windows.

[F] The chambermaid sweet [F7] names I call, 
It's a [Bb] wonder [G7] I don't fall. 
My [F]minds not on my [D7] work at all 
[Db7] When I'm cleaning [F] windows

[F] I know a fellow [F7] such a swell, 
He has a [Bb] thirst it's [G7] plain to tell. 
I've [F] seen him drink his [D7] bath as well 
[Db7] When I'm cleaning [F] windows

[A7] In my profession I work hard, [D7] but I'll never stop. 
[G7] I'll climb this blinking ladder [C] 'til I get right to the [C7] top.

[F] Pyjamas lying [F7] side by side 
[Bb] ladies nighties [G7]I have spied. 
I've [F] often seen what [D7] goes inside, 
[Db7] when I'm cleaning [F] windows.

[F] There's a famous [F7] talkie queen, 
[Bb] looks a flapper [G7] on the screen. 
She's [F] more like eighty [D7 ]than eighteen 
[Db7] When I'm cleaning [F] windows.

[F] She pulls her hair all [F7] down behind, 
Then [Bb] pulls down her, [G7] never mind 
After [F] that pulls [D7] down the blind 
[Db7] When I'm cleaning [F] windows.

[A7] In my profession I work hard, [D7] but I'll never stop. 
[G7] I'll climb this blinking ladder [C]'til I get right to the [C7] top.

[F]At eight o'clock a [F7] girl she wakes, 
[Bb] At five past eight a [G7] bath she takes. 
[Db7]When I'm cleaning [F] windows.
