Songtexte

[Verse 1]
Oh, the smell of the bakery from across the street
Got in my nose
As we carried our ladders down the street
With the wrought-iron gate rows
I went home and listened to Jimmie Rodgers in my lunch break
Bought five Woodbines at the shop on the corner
And went straight back to work
[Verse 2]
Oh, Sam was up on top
And I was on the bottom with the V
We went for lemonade and Paris buns
At the shop and broke for tea
I collected from the lady
And I cleaned the fanlight inside-out
I was blowing saxophone on the weekend
In that down joint
[Chorus]
What's my line?
I'm happy cleaning windows
Take my time
I'll see you when my love grows
Baby, don't let it slide
I'm a working man in my prime
Cleaning windows
Number thirty-six
Yeah
Take this
[Verse 3]
I heard Leadbelly and Blind Lemon
On the street where I was born
Sonny Terry, Brownie McGhee
And Muddy Waters singin', "I'm a Rollin' Stone"
I went home and read my Christmas Humphreys' book on Zen
Curiosity killed the cat
Kerouac's "Dharma Bums" and "On the Road"
[Chorus]
Yeah
What's my line?
I'm happy cleaning windows
Yes
Take my time
I'll see you when my love grows
Baby, don't let it slide
I'm a working man in my prime
Cleaning windows
[Chorus]
Say again, what's my line?
I'm happy cleaning windows
Well, I'll take my time
I'll see you when my love grows
Don't let it slide
I'm a working man in my prime
Cleaning windows
[Outro]
Alright
Cleaning windows
Number hundred and twenty-six
I will be right tomorrow
I'm just going to town, three feet deep in a window sill, yeah
They saw me, hurry up
To look at it first, you'll have to go undertow
Cleaning windows
