Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
Old soldiers never die, they say
Though don't want to pass away
I kick the bucket every day
When I'm cleanin' windows
[Verse 7]
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
[Verse 8]
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
[Verse 9]
The newlyweds at number six
Somehow, the curtains they can't fix
They play some lovely parlor tricks
When I'm cleanin' windows
[Verse 10]
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
[Verse 11]
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
[Verse 12]
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
[Verse 13]
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
