[Intro]
F                             G7
Now I go cleanin' windows to earn an honest bob
C                Cmaj7     C7         F
For a nosy parker it's an interestin' job

[Verse 1]
F               F7
Now it's a job that just suits me
Bb               G7
A window cleaner you would be
F           D7
If you can see what I can see
     Db7             F
When I'm cleanin' windows

[Verse 2]
F               F7
Honeymoonin' couples too
Bb                   G7
You should see them bill 'n coo
F                       D7
You'd be surprised at things they do
     Db7            F
When I'm cleanin' windows


[Bridge]
   A7
In my profession I'll work hard
D7
But I'll never stop
       G7
I'll climb this blinkin' ladder
        C7
Till I get right to the top

[Verse 3]
F                    F7
The blushin' bride, she looks divine
Bb                    G7
The bridegroom he is doin' fine
     F               D7
I'd rather have his job than mine
      Db7           F
When I'm cleanin' windows

[Verse 4]
F                         F7
The chambermaids' sweet names I call
Bb            G7
It's a wonder I don't fall
F                    D7
My mind's not on my work at all
      Db7            F
When I'm cleanin' windows

[Verse 5]
F                F7
I know a fella, such a swell
Bb                G7
He has a thirst, that's plain to tell
F                        D7
I've seen him drink his bath as well
      Db7          F
When I'm cleanin' windows

[Bridge]

   A7
In my profession I'll work hard
D7
But I'll never stop
       G7
I'll climb this blinkin' ladder
        C7
Till I get right to the top

[Verse 6]
F              F7
Pyjamas lyin' side by side
Bb              G7 
Ladies nighties I have spied
F                     D7
I've often seen what goes inside
      Db7           F
When I'm cleanin' windows

[Verse 7]
F                   F7
An old maid walks around the floor
Bb                G7 
She's so fed up, one day I'm sure
F                      D7
She'll drag me in and lock the door
      Db7           F
When I'm cleanin' windows
