Cleaning Windows (2007 Re-mastered)

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

Oh, Sam was up on top and

I was on the bottom with the

VWe 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

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

I heard Leadbelly and

Blind Lemon on the street where

I was born

Sonny Terry,

Brownie Mc

Gee, Muddy

Waters singin', "I'm a Rolling Stone"

I went home and read my

Christmas

Humphreys' book on

ZenCuriosity killed the cat,

Kerouac's '

Dharma Bums' and '

On The Road'

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

What's my line?

I'm happy cleaning windows

Will 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

Cleaning windows
