sadie (the cleaning lady)
Singer:farnham, john
with trusty scrubing brush and pale of water
worked her fingers to the bone
for the life she had at home
providing at the same for her daughter. oh sadie
her aching knee's not getting any younger
well her red detergent hands
have for years not held a mans
and time would find her hard in spite of hunger. scrub your floors
looks as though you'll always be a cleaning lady. can't afford to get board
looks as though you'll always be a cleaning lady. oh sadie
her female mind would find a way of trapping
though as gentle as a lamb
so she could spend the night by tv napping
her aching knee's not getting any younger
well her red detergent hands
have for years not held a mans
and time would find her hard in spite of hunger. scrub your floors
looks as though you'll always be a cleaning lady. can't afford to get board
looks as though you'll always be a cleaning lady. oh sadie
her sam was what she got for crying and singing. to her solo and dismay
she's still working 'till this day
her sam then that to be another singer. scrub your floors
looks as though you'll always be a cleaning lady.
