Honeymoonin' couples too

Till I get right to the top

The bridegroom he is doin' fine

The chambermaids' sweet names I call
D                F7
It's a wonder I don't fall
A                   F#

They do some lovely parlour tricks

Pyjamas lyin' side by side

Ladies nighties I have spied
A                    F#
I've often seen what goes inside
F7                    A
When I'm cleanin' windows

Verse:
A                   A7
Now there's a famous movie queen
D                     F7
She looks quite tasty on the screen
A                       F#
She's more like eightie than eighteen
F7                    A
When I'm cleanin' windows

A                   A7
She pulls her hair all down behind
D                F7
Then pulls down her... never mind
A                    F#
And after that pulls down the blind
F7                A
When I'm cleanin' windows

But I'll never stop

An old maid walks around the floor
D                F7
She's so fed up, one day I'm sure
A                     F#
She'll drag me in and lock the door
F7                    A
When I'm cleanin' windows
