[C] [C7] [F] [Cdim] [C] [C7] [C6] [C] [Cdim] [C]

Verse 1:
Now [C] I go cleaning windows to [D7] earn an honest bob
[G7] For a nosey parker it's an interesting [C] job
[C] Now it's a job that [C7] just suits me a [F] window cleaner [Cdim] you will be 
If [C] you could see what [C7] I [C6] can [C] see [Cdim]
when I'm cleaning [C] windows

[C] The honeymooning [C7] couples too [F] you should see them [Cdim] bill and coo 
[C] You'd be surprised at [C7] things [C6] they [C] do
[Cdim] When I'm cleaning [C] windows

|[Chorus 1]
|In [E7] my profession I work hard [A7] but I'll never stop
|I'll [D7] climb this blinking ladder 'til I [G7] get right to the [G] top
|The [C] blushing bride she [C7] looks divine, the [F] bridegroom he is [Cdim] doing fine 
|I'd [C] rather have his [C7] job [C6] than [C] mine
|[Cdim] when I'm cleaning [C] windows

Verse 2:
[C] The chambermaid sweet [C7] names I call [F] it's a wonder [Cdim] I don't fall 
My [C] mind’s not on my [C7] work [C6] at [C] all
[Cdim] when I'm cleaning [C] windows

[C] I know a fellow [C7] such a swell he [F] has a thirst it's [Cdim] plain to tell 
I've [C] seen him drink his [C7] bath [C6] as [C] well
[Cdim] when I'm cleaning [C] windows

|[Chorus 2]
|In [E7] my profession I work hard [A7] but I'll never stop
|I'll [D7] climb this blinking ladder 'til I [G7] get right to the [G] top
|Py[C]jamas lying [C7] side by side, [F] ladies nighties [Cdim] I have spied
|I've [C] often seen what [C7] goes [C6] in [C] side 
|[Cdim] when I'm cleaning [C] windows

Verse 3:
Now [C] there's a famous [C7] talkie queen [F] looks a flapper [Cdim] on the screen
She's [C] more like eighty [C7] than [C6] eigh[C]teen,
[Cdim] When I'm cleaning [C] windows

She [C] pulls her hair all [C7] down behind [F] then pulls down her [Cdim] never mind
And [C] after that pulls [C7] down [C6] the [C] blind 
[Cdim] when I'm cleaning [C] windows

|[Chorus 3]
|In [E7] my profession I work hard [A7] but I'll never stop
|I'll [D7] climb this blinking ladder 'til I [G7] get right to the [G] top
|An [C] old maid walks a[C7] round the floor, she's [F] so fed up one [Cdim] day I'm sure
|She'll [C] drag me in and [C7] lock [C6] the [C] door 
|[Cdim] when I'm cleaning [C] windows

[Outro]
[C] [C7] [F] [Cdim] [C] [C7] [C6] [C] [Cdim] [C] 
[Cdim] when I'm cleaning [C] windows
