I go window cleaning to earn an honest bob
For a nosey parker it's an interesting job
Now it's a job that just suits me, a window cleaner you will be
If you could see what I can see
When I'm cleaning windows

The honeymooning couples too, you should see them bill and coo
You'd be surprised at things they do
When I'm cleaning windows

In my profession I work hard, but I'll never stop
I'll climb this blinking ladder ‘‘til I get right to the top

The blushing bride she looks divine, the bridegroom he is doing fine
I'd rather have his job than mine
When I'm cleaning windows

The chambermaid 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

I know a fellow such a swell, he has a thirst it's plain to tell
I've seen him drink his bath as well
When I'm cleaning windows

In my profession I work hard, but I'll never stop
I'll climb this blinking ladder ‘til I get right to the top

Pyjamas lying side by side, ladies nighties I have spied
I've often seen what goes inside, when I'm cleaning windows

There's a famous talkie queen, looks a 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
After that pulls down the blind
When I'm cleaning windows

In my profession I work hard, but I'll never stop
I'll climb this blinking ladder ‘til I get right to the top

At eight o'clock a girl she wakes, at five past eight a bath she takes
When I'm cleaning windows
