Cleaning Windows - Live

Lyrics

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 V
 ♪
 We 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 join
 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
 Cleanin' windows
 ♪
 I heard leadbelly and blind lemon
 On the street where I was born
 ♪
 Sonny Terry, Brownie McGhee,
 Muddy Waters singin' "I'm A Rolling Stone"
 ♪
 I went home and read my Christmas Humphreys' book on Zen
 ♪
 Curiosity killed the cat
 Kerouac's "Dharma Bums" and "On The Road"
 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
 What's my line?
 I'm happy cleaning windows
 Well, I 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
