Oh, Sam was up on top and I was on the bottom with the V
Take my time, I'll see you when my love grows
Cleaning windows, number thirty-six
I heard Leadbelly and Blind Lemon on the street where I was born
I was blowing saxophone on the weekend in that down joint
Will I take my time? I'll see you when my love grows
Take my time, I'll see you when my love grows
What's my line? I'm happy cleaning windows
What's my line? I'm happy cleaning windows
And went straight back to work
Sonny Terry, Brownie McGee, Muddy Waters singin', "I'm a Rolling Stone"
Cleaning windows
I went home and listened to Jimmie Rodgers in my lunch-break
Curiosity killed the cat, Kerouac's 'Dharma Bums' and 'On The Road'
I went home and read my Christmas Humphreys' book on Zen
What's my line? I'm happy cleaning windows
Don't let it slide, I'm a working man in my prime
I collected from the lady and I cleaned the fanlight inside-out
Baby don't let it slide, I'm a working man in my prime
We went for lemonade and Paris buns at the shop and broke for tea
Bought five woodbines at the shop on the corner
Baby don't let it slide, I'm a working man in my prime
