Cappo on Third Fret
[Intro]

[Verse]
COh, the smell of the bakery from across the street got in my Gnose
CAs we carried our ladders down the street with the wrought-iron gate rGows
CI went home and listened to Jimmie Rodgers in my lunch-brGeak
DBought five Woodbines at the shop on the corner and went straight back to wGork
[Verse]
Oh, SCam was up on top And I was on the bottom with the GV
CWe went for lemonade and Paris buns at the shop and broke for tGea
CI collected from the lady and I cleaned the fanlight insGide-out
DI was blowing saxophone on the weekend in that down joGint
[Chorus]
GWhat's  Dmy     liEmne?
I'm haDppy cleaning wiCndows
GTake     Dmy      Emtime
I'll sDee you when my Clove grows
GBaby don't lDet it sliEmde
I'm a woDrking man in my priCme
Cleaning wiGndows (number hundred and thirty-six)
[Verse]
