    When I'm Cleaning Windows
    When I'm Cleaning Windows
    George Formby
    - 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
    ------ banjo ------
    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

    bob: an informal word for a shilling, a British coin
    worth one twentieth of a pound

    bill 'n coo: "bill" means to kiss and whisper amorously;
    "coo" means to murmur lovingly
    swell: remarkable person
    talkie: an early film with a soundtrack; a "talking picture"
    flapper: (in the 1920s) a young woman, especially one
    flaunting her unconventional behaviour
    old maid: a woman regarded as unlikely ever to marry;
    a spinster
