Mr. Wu's A Window Cleaner Now - Various Artists/Jack Lawrence/Harold Arlen

Written by：George Formby

Mr Wu no longer has a laundry

Sad to say the business was flop

He shouted' what a hope' as he chewed a bar of soap

And then put up the shutters of the shop

Said Mr Wu what shall I do

And Mr Wu's a window cleaner now

The laundry it didn't pay

Now there's no clean collars down lime house way

When he goes out working

Interest he arouses

Polishing the windows with worn out ladies blouses

He wears a pair of came nicks to save his Sunday trousers

Cos Mr Wu's a window cleaner now

Now little Chinese wife each day is getting madder

Tearing her silk stockings

Her husband makes her sadder

All day long he wants to keep on running up the ladder

Cos Mr Wu's a window cleaner now

He had his eyesight tested a most important matter

Through a bathroom window a lady he peeps at her

His eyesight s getting better but his nose is getting flatter

Cos Mr Wu's a window cleaner now

Said Mr Wu what shall I do

And Mr Wu's a window cleaner now

The laundry it didn't pay

Now there's no clean collars down lime house way

Customers he's washed for now are in bad humors

They feel quite neglected and I've heard the humors

Lots of girls on winter nights go out without their garters

Cos Mr Wu's a window cleaner now
