George Formby a legend in England in the 30's and 40's. Made loads of films and kept us smiling during the dark days of WW2. George Harrison of "The Beatles" was a huge fan of his, and was a member of his fan club. He actually attended the annual meetings in Blackpool and took his uke with him.
Bless you, George! You has made so many of our happiest days and we always will remember your huge smile, hilarious fun & humour and your ukulele! Rest in Peace, God's soul!😁
My neighbour yrs and yrs ago by the way I still live in the same street as him but I live at a dif address any he was a dead ringer for George he wore a wig and played at clubs with a ukulele or how ever you spell it and sang one day he said you bugger your son has broken into my shed and pinched a drill etc he hadn't so one night I'd had a couple of drinks 2 glasses of sherry thought I'm not having this I so ar night I went and put his front window through with a brick lol next day he blamed my son police arrested my son I went to the police station said it me they told me to go home my son got a fine told my neighbour ys ago it was me we still talk he is now 82 I'm 74 still makes me laugh the song good old days 😂
My 82yr old neighbour is a dead ringer for george ive lived by him for over 4o yrs he used to wear a wig play at clubs singing all the songs he got nasty yrs ago accused my little lad of stealing a drill out of his shed he hadnt so one night id had a couple of glasses of wine lol thought im not having this i put a brick through his front window he wont be cleaning that window again lol next day the police arrived arrested my older son and he got a fine i went to the police station said it was me they said go home mum it was your son lol im still best mates with my neighbour i told him a few yrs ago it was me all he said was u little bugger 😂
Exactly why I'm here, probably the best game on the disc. Was talking to my dad about it, digging through old boxes to find the camera so my sisters' kids can play it!
I actually have the plague mask and hat you are using on your picture. I wart out on a few occasions and was amazed by the lack of sense of humour people have. The world's most boring apocalypse get over. They don't laugh you cry 😈
Whenever I listen to Formby I remember my Grandad, too. He was a big fan of Formby and just wish I played the ukulele before he passed away so he could hear me play.
I'm now 32 and my father raised me and my brother on classic old tunes like this, I'm currently doing a job for his older friend who up until recently owned two of his ukulele's. Mad knowing that could have been one of them 👆😮. Most of my friends and most people I know today wouldn't know or have a clue who George Formby was but I think that's quite wonderful I do in a way... Old legends live on.
My mother got me listening to George Formbywhen I was a kid, thanks mum, I'm always singing his tunes even when I don't get the lyrics right, great guy great music!!!
The world is far too PC these days, everyone knows that deep down (male or female) we'd all cop a look; if not out of instinctual perversion, innocent curiosity! Lol.
A young Charlie Chaplin used to borrow costumes from George's father, a music hall performer called George Formby snr. Included was a bowler hat and cane. He'd use them for the character "John Willie", "the archetypal gormless Lancashire lad in baggy trousers, tight jacket, and bowler hat, slow-talking, hen-pecked, accident-prone, but muddling through." This character became the inspiration for Charlie Chaplin in the formation of his character the Tramp.

"When I'm Cleaning Windows" is a comedy song performed by Lancastrian comic, actor and ukulele player George Formby. It first appeared in the 1936 film Keep Your Seats, Please. The song was credited as written by Formby, Harry Gifford and Frederick E. Cliffe. Formby performed the song in A♭ in Keep Your Seats, Please. For the single release, the key was changed to B♭. The song was so successful that George Formby recorded another version of the song entitled "The Window Cleaner (No. 2)". This song uses similar orchestration to the original version and it is about further things which were seen on a window cleaning round. Because the song's lyrics were racy for the time, it was banned by the BBC from being played on the radio. The corporation's director general John Reith stated that "if the public wants to listen to Formby singing his disgusting little ditty, they'll have to be content to hear it in the cinemas, not over the nation's airwaves"; Formby and his wife and manager Beryl Ingham were furious with the block on the song. In May 1941, Ingham informed the BBC that the song was a favourite of the royal family, particularly Queen Mary, while a statement by Formby pointed out that "I sang it before the King and Queen at the Royal Variety Performance". The BBC relented and started to broadcast the song. The record's sales were so successful that Regal Zonophone awarded Formby the first silver disc for sales of over 100,000 copies."
my 87 year old friend loves this song so much but he died his name was Arnie.Arnie if you are watching this video in heaven r.i.p Arnie i still remember you when i listen to this song.I'll see you again Arnie xxx x
It's been a while since I checked up on these videos and they have far more views than I expected. Since there's alot more than I thought, feel free to inbox me/'request' a video tutorial and i'll gladly put up an instructional video of how to play the particular song! That's as long as I know it myself!
I searched for this while randomly reading James Harriot on a weekend. I read his stories as a 9 year old kid , not knowing anything about the world. And the world has changed - now, in my mid thirties, I could look up this song after seeing a reference to it in “dog stories “.
Gotta love this tune. Just started learning to play the ukulele after a long while playin guitar. This was the first song I looked up the chords for. It's often overlooked as just being a novelty, but it's actually a great little song! Look forward to making people laugh and smile with this!
this song is simply awesome!!!! i love it and i'm trying to learn it on the uke myself but its a tad hard for a begginer but ths is definatly going to be the 1st song i learn on the ukulele love it!!!!
In the years leading up toWW2, George was Princess Elizabeth's favorite comedian. For a time his risque songs were banned from the BBC...until word got out that Lilibet loved him.
Beryle and George Formby were well known by people in the war years. As a boy during the 1940's, I sw many films in the local cinema of George and his singing.

Lyrics I go cleanin' windows to earn an honest bob For a nosy parker it's an interestin' job Now it's a job that just suits me A window cleaner you would be If you can see what I can see When I'm cleanin' windows Honeymoonin' couples too You should see them bill 'n coo You'd be surprised at things they do When I'm cleanin' windows In my profession I'll work hard But I'll never stop I'll climb this blinkin' ladder Till I get right to the top The blushin' bride, she looks divine The bridegroom he is doin' fine I'd rather have his job than mine When I'm cleanin' windows The chambermaids' sweet names I call It's a wonder I don't fall My mind's not on my work at all When I'm cleanin' windows I know a fella, such a swell He has a thirst, that's plain to tell I've seen him drink his bath as well When I'm cleanin' windows Oh, in my profession I'll work hard But I'll never stop I'll climb this blinkin' ladder Till I get right to the top Pyjamas lyin' side by side Ladies nighties I have spied I've often seen what goes inside When I'm cleanin' windows ------ -Ukulele----- Now there's a famous talkie queen She looks a flapper on the screen She's more like eightie than eighteen When I'm cleanin' windows She pulls her hair all down behind Then pulls down her... never mind And after that pulls down the blind When I'm cleanin' windows In my profession I'll work hard But I'll never stop I'll climb this blinkin' ladder Till I get right to the top An old maid walks around the floor She's so fed up, one day I'm sure She'll drag me in and lock the door When I'm cleanin' windows When I'm cleanin' windows
The Queen Mum - a jovial and kind woman whom I had the sincere privilege to see in her canary yellow outfit exiting (NOT Brexiting) St Paul's Cathedral in about 1998 - ADORED this song! She had a very healthy sense of sexual innuendo - as do all educated British people who enjoy a bit of fun! Shine on, you crazy diamonds! ; }
+Rebecca Rose Hirschfield I used "still" as a reminder for you to realise that regardless of time and distance... You'll always remain in my mind as the mysterious yet captivating woman I met through Todd Rundgren and whose perfect english melts my heart. As for the song, for a 20 yrs old like me it is rather odd-sounding but I have the sensitivity to appreciate its artistic value, the woman is sensual and elegant (if I may say) :P
yes and the Queen loves it too - she can actially sing. When some pompus told GF to chge the words for a performance for the Royals rhey got wind of it and ordered him to sing it with the origibnanl words.
PS Lord Reid, that sanctimonious hypocrite had Windows banned from the BBC - the Formbys pointed out that if was good enough for the Royal Variety Performance it should be be good enough for the BBC.

Luke Bradley Was it "Wishy Washy", or something?
Ben Roberts yeah! Oh the memories, and while I don't remember exactly, it seemed like the motion sense in that worked better than in Kinect today!
When i was a kid in the 90's i became obsessed with George Formby, listening on repeat all day obsessed. I have no clue why.
The man was a legend and his songs live on. They were actually very clever and witty.

This song's been every window cleaners' worst nightmare since it came out.
Im living on one of his old norfolk broads cruisers. Its called 'the lady Beryl' after his wife, as all his boats were.

Lyrics
I go cleanin' windows to earn an honest bob
For a nosy parker it's an interestin' job
Now it's a job that just suits me
A window cleaner you would be
If you can see what I can see
When I'm cleanin' windows
Honeymoonin' couples too
You should see them bill 'n coo
You'd be surprised at things they do
When I'm cleanin' windows
In my profession I'll work hard
But I'll never stop
I'll climb this blinkin' ladder
Till I get right to the top
The blushin' bride, she looks divine
The bridegroom he is doin' fine
I'd rather have his job than mine
When I'm cleanin' windows
The chambermaids' sweet names I call
It's a wonder I don't fall
My mind's not on my work at all
When I'm cleanin' windows
I know a fella, such a swell
He has a thirst, that's plain to tell
I've seen him drink his bath as well
When I'm cleanin' windows
Oh, in my profession I'll work hard
But I'll never stop
I'll climb this blinkin' ladder
Till I get right to the top
Pyjamas lyin' side by side
Ladies nighties I have spied
I've often seen what goes inside
When I'm cleanin' windows
------ -Ukulele-----
Now there's a famous talkie queen
She looks a flapper on the screen
She's more like eightie than eighteen
When I'm cleanin' windows
She pulls her hair all down behind
Then pulls down her... never mind
And after that pulls down the blind
When I'm cleanin' windows
In my profession I'll work hard
But I'll never stop
I'll climb this blinkin' ladder
Till I get right to the top
An old maid walks around the floor
She's so fed up, one day I'm sure
She'll drag me in and lock the door
When I'm cleanin' windows
When I'm cleanin' windows
Banjo is now a Ukulele
Thanks for posting the lyrics.
I think the instrument is called a Banjolele. :)

Man, what a great song! Excelent swing!
It heartens me that here are still 6000 people that like such an old song :-)

The Queen Mum - a jovial and kind woman whom I had the sincere privilege to see in her canary yellow outfit exiting (NOT Brexiting) St Paul's Cathedral in about 1998 - ADORED this song! She had a very healthy sense of sexual innuendo - as do all educated British people who enjoy a bit of fun! Shine on, you crazy diamonds! ; }
I still find you sexy.
Erm: me or George Formby? And why "still" - as opposed to "formerly"???!!!
+Rebecca Rose Hirschfield I used "still" as a reminder for you to realise that regardless of time and distance... You'll always remain in my mind as the mysterious yet captivating woman I met through Todd Rundgren and whose perfect english melts my heart. As for the song, for a 20 yrs old like me it is rather odd-sounding but I have the sensitivity to appreciate its artistic value, the woman is sensual and elegant (if I may say) :P
yes and the Queen loves it too - she can actially sing. When some pompus told GF to chge the words for a performance for the Royals rhey got wind of it and ordered him to sing it with the origibnanl words.
PS Lord Reid, that sanctimonious hypocrite had Windows banned from the BBC - the Formbys pointed out that if was good enough for the Royal Variety Performance it should be be good enough for the BBC.
Classic. Love it. Want to learn this song.
he is amazing
im related to George Formby he's my grandads sister that married George :D
He's a strange guy
