歌词
Oh, the smell of the bakery from across the street
Got in my nose, yeah
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
♪
Oh, Sam was up on top
And I was on the bottom with the V
We went for lemonade and Paris burns
At the shop and broke for tea, watch out
I collected from the lady
And I cleaned the fanlight inside-out
I was blowing saxophone on the weekend
In that down joint
♪
What's my line?
I'm happy cleanin' 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
Cleanin' windows
Number 36
♪
I heard Leadbelly and Blind Lemon
On the street where I was born, yeah
Sonny Terry, Brownie Mcghee
And Muddy Waters singin' "I'm a rollin' stone"
♪
I went home
And read my Christmas Humphrey's book on Zen
Curiosity killed the cat
Kerouac's "Dharma bums" and "On the road"
♪
What's my line?
I'm happy cleanin' windows, yes
Take my time
I'll se you when my love grows
Baby, don't let it slide
I'm a working man in my prime
Cleanin' windows
Take it
What's my line?
I'm happy cleanin' windows
Well, I take my time
I'll see you when my love grows
Don't let it slide
I'm a working man in my prime
Cleanin' windows
Alright, cleanin' windows
What you say, number?

Alright, we'll be ready tomorrow
