The Window Cleaner (No. 2)

You've heard about my capers when windows I've to clean

Now I'd like to tell you of a few more things I've seen

I've seen Miss Thompson in her flat

Take off her shoes, her coat and hat

I've seen her take off more than that

When I'm cleanin' windows

At a ladies' school, I call

And one girl flirts with me and all

But I'm insured in case I fall

When I'm cleanin' windows

All day up this ladder, I'm as busy as can be

It's not my fault I see a lot of things I shouldn't see

To overcrowded flats I've been

Sixteen in one bed I've seen

With a lodger tucked up in between

When I'm cleanin' windows

Old soldiers never die, they say

Though don't want to pass away

I kick the bucket every day

When I'm cleanin' windows

Through workin' at such dizzy heights

I dream about my job at night

I polish my wife's  thing-a-me tights

And think I'm cleanin' windows

All day up this ladder, I'm as busy as can be

It's not my fault I see a lot of things I shouldn't see

The newlyweds at number six

Somehow, the curtains they can't fix

They play some lovely parlor tricks

When I'm cleanin' windows

Now lots of girls I've had to jilt

All they admire the way I'm built

It's a good job, I don't wear a kilt

When I'm cleanin' windows

At the coronation, I'll commence

To work where the crowds are very dense

And let me stand for eighteen pence

Instead of cleanin' windows

And all day up this ladder, I'm as busy as can be

It's not my fault I see a lot of things I shouldn't see

At eight o'clock, a girl, she wakes

At five past eight, a bath she takes

At ten past eight, me ladder breaks

When I'm cleanin' windows
