Karaoké Cleaning Windows Van Morrison

Oh the smell of the bakery from across the street got in my nose

Yeah

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

Watch out

I collected from the lady and I cleaned the fanlight inside-out

I was blowing saxophone on the weekend in that Down joint

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

Cleaning windows

Number thirty-six

Yeah

Singing

I heard Leadbelly and Blind Lemon on the street where I was born

Yeah

Sonny Terry, Brownie McGhee and Muddy Waters singing

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

Hey

What's my line

I'm happy cleaning windows

Hey

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

Cleaning windows

Say again

What's my line

I'm happy cleaning windows

Well I take my time

I'll see you when my love grows

Don't let it slide

I'm a working man in my prime

Cleaning windows

Alright

Cleaning

What'd you say number

Number a hundred and twenty-six

Alright we'll be 'round tomorrow

I just found a tanner and a 3d bit on the windowsill here

Come on Sammy hurry up

If we don't get finished we'll have to go down to the dole

Cleaning windows

All happy cleaning windows

Alright tipted, laughing
