From the park you hear the happy sound of a carou-sel
You can almost taste the hot dogs and french fries they sell
Under the boardwalk, down by the sea…yeah
On a blanket with my baby, that’s where I’ll be

[D] For a nosey parker it's an interesting [G] job
[G] Now it's a job that [G7] just suits me a [C] window cleaner [A7] you will be
If [G] you could see what [E7] I can see [Gdim] when I'm cleaning [G] windows
[G] The honeymooning [G7] couples too [C] you should see them [A7] bill and coo
You'd [G] be surprised at [E7] things they do
[Gdim] When I'm cleaning [G] windows
In [B7] my profession I work hard [E7] but I'll never stop
I'll [A7] climb this blinking ladder 'til I [D] get right to the [D7] top
The [G] blushing bride she [G7] looks divine
The [C] bridegroom he is [A7] doing fine
I'd [G] rather have his [E7] job than mine [Gdim] when I'm cleaning [G] windows
[G] The chambermaid sweet [G7] names I call [C] it's a wonder [A7] I don't fall
My [G] mind’s not on my [E7] work at all [Gdim] when I'm cleaning [G] windows

I've [G] seen him drink his [E7] bath as well [Gdim] when I'm cleaning [G] windows
In [B7] my profession I work hard [E7] but I'll never stop
I'll [A7] climb this blinking ladder 'til I [D] get right to the [D7] top
Py[G]jamas lying [G7] side by side [C] ladies nighties [A7] I have spied
I've [G] often seen what [E7] goes inside [Gdim] when I'm cleaning [G] windows
Now [G] there's a famous [G7] talkie queen [C] looks a flapper [A7] on the screen
She's [G] more like eighty [E7] than eighteen
[Gdim] When I'm cleaning [G] windows
She [G] pulls her hair all [G7] down behind
[C] Then pulls down her [A7] never mind
And [G] after that pulls [E7] down the blind [Gdim] when I'm cleaning [G] windows
In [B7] my profession I work hard [E7] but I'll never stop
I'll [A7] climb this blinking ladder 'til I [D] get right to the [D7] top
An [G] old maid walks a[G7]round the floor
She's [C] so fed up one [A7] day I'm sure
She'll [G] drag me in and [E7] lock the door [Gdim] when I'm cleaning [G] windows

SIXTEEN TONS 4/4 1…2…1234
Intro: Do do do do do do do do 4
Some people say a man is made out of mud, a poor man’s made out of muscle and blood Well, I was born one morning when the sun didn’t shine, I picked up my shovel and walked to the mine Well, I was born one morning it was drizzlin’ rain, fightin’ and trouble are my middle name If you see me comin’ better step a - side, a lot of men didn’t and a lot of men died 4
Muscle and blood and skin and bones, a mind that’s weak and a back that’s strong I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal, and the straw boss said, “Well, bless my soul!” I was raised in the canebreak by an old mamma lion, can’t no high-toned woman make me walk the line One fist of iron and the other of steel, if the right one doesn’t get you then the left one will. CHORUS:
You load sixteen tons and what do you get? An-other day older and deeper in debt
St. Peter, don’t you call me ‘cause I can’t go. I owe my soul to the company’s store. 4

You're looking swell, Dolly, I can tell, Dolly
You're still glowin' , you're still crowin' , you're still goin' strong.
We feel the room swaying for the band's playing
One of your old favorite songs from way back when
So, take her wrap, fellas, find her an empty lap, fellas,
