Oh,
the smell ofthe bakery

from across the street

Got in my nose
As we carried our ladders

down the street

With the wrought

iron gate rows
Iwent 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.
0h,

Sam was up on top

And lwas 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
What's my line? I'm happy

cleaning windows,

Take my time I'll see you

when my love grows
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
INSTRUMENTAL
I heard Leadbelly

and Blind Lemon
0n the street

where I was born
Sonny Terry,

Brownie McGhee,

Muddy Waters singin'

I'm A Rolling Stone
Iwent home and

read my Christmas

Humphreys'

Book on Zen
Curiosity killed the cat

Kerouac's
Dharma Burns
and On The Road
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
What's my line?
I'm happy cleaning windows

when i take my time

I'll see you when my love grows
when 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
