And after that pulls down the blind When I'm cleaning windows In my profession I'll work hard But I'll never stop I'll climb this blinking ladder 'Til I get right to the top An old maid walks around the floor She's so fed up one day I'm sure She'll drag me in and lock the door When I'm cleaning windows |
