Karaoké Sadie the Cleaning Lady John Farnham

Sadie the cleaning lady

With trusty scrubbing brush and pail of water

Worked her fingers to the bone for the life she had at home

Providing at the same time for her daughter

Oh, Sadie the cleaning lady

Her aching knees not getting any younger

Well, her red detergent hands have for years not held a mans

And time would find her heart expired of hunger

Scrub your floors do your chores dear old Sadie

Looks as though you'll always be a cleaning lady

Can't afford to get bored, dear old Sadie

Looks as though you'll always be a cleaning lady

Oh, Sadie the cleaning lady

Her female mind would find a way of trapping

Though as gentle as a lamb

Sam the elevator man

So she could spend the night by TV, napping

Oh, Sadie the cleaning lady

Her aching knees not getting any younger

Well, her red detergent hands have for years not held a mans

And time would find her heart expired of hunger

Ah, scrub your floors do your chores dear old Sadie

Looks as though you'll always be a cleaning lady

Can't afford to get bored, dear old Sadie

Looks as though you'll always be a cleaning lady

Ah, Sadie the cleaning lady

Her Sam was what she got hook, line and sinker

To her sorrow and dismay she's still working to this day

Her Sam turned out to be a nervous figure

Ah, scrub your floors do your chores dear old Sadie

Looks as though you'll always be a cleaning lady
