When I'm Cleaning Windows
- written by George Formby, Harry Gifford and Frederick E. Cliffe - as recorded September 27, 1936 by George Formby (1904-1961)
Now I go cleanin' windows to earn an honest bob For a nosy parker it's an interestin' job
Now it's a job that just suits me A window cleaner you would be If you can see what I can see 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
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
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

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
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
When I'm cleanin' windows
