Subject: Lyr Add: WHEN I'M CLEANING WINDOWS (George Formby) From: Murray MacLeod Date: 23 Mar 07 - 06:37 PM WHEN I'M CLEANING WINDOWS - written by George Formby, Harry Gifford and Frederick E. Cliffe - as recorded September 27, 1936 by George Formby (1904-1961)
Now I go cleanin' windows to earn an honest bob.
Now it's a job that just suits me.
Honeymoonin' couples too:
In my profession I'll work hard, but I'll never stop.
The blushin' bride, she looks divine.
The chambermaids' sweet names I call.
I know a fella, such a swell.
Oh, in my profession I'll work hard but I'll never stop.
Pyjamas lyin' side by side, ------ banjo ------
Now there's a famous talkie queen.
She pulls her hair all down behind,
In my profession I'll work hard, but I'll never stop.
An old maid walks around the floor. |

Subject: RE: Formby Parody: When I'm Running Windows From: Herga Kitty Date: 23 Mar 07 - 06:51 PM Well, as far as I can remember, "Reinstalling Windows" is a Les Barker parody of the song popularised by George Formby. Kitty |

Subject: RE: Formby Parody: When I'm Running Windows From: Snuffy Date: 23 Mar 07 - 07:30 PM Bugger, I linked to Zebedee's posting twice. This is by non-member |
Subject: RE: Formby Parody: When I'm Running Windows From: Bob the Postman Date: 23 Mar 07 - 08:01 PM I thought this would turn out to be a "find the song" challenge rather than a "make the song" challenge. I did search for "when I'm running windows" so of course didn't turn up "reinstalling". I thought up these bits in the bath: Mac is fine for flakes and fruits Linux users pick their snoots But Billy Gates is coining loot When I'm etc. Macs are at your call and beck Linux runs as you'd expect I utter stronger oaths than heck When I'm etc. |
