Sadie The Cleaning Lady

John Farnham

Sadie the cleaning lady
With trusted scrubbing
brush and pail of water

Worked her fingers to the bone
for the lad she had at home

Providing at the same time
for her daughter

Scrub the floors do your chores
Dear old Sadie

Looks as though you'll always
be a cleaning lady

Can't afford to get bored
Dear old Sadie

Looks as though you'll always
be a cleaning lady.

Oh Sadie the cleaning lady
Her aching knees not getting
any younger

Well her red detergent hands
had for years not held a mans
And time would find her heart

expired of hunger

Scrub the floors do your chores
Dear old Sadie

Looks as though you'll always
be a cleaning lady

Can't afford to get bored
Dear old Sadie

Looks as though you'll always
be a cleaning lady.

Oh Sadie the cleaning lady
Her female mind would find
away of trapping

Though as gentle as a lamb
Sam the elevator man

So she could spend the night
by T. V. napping

Scrub the floors do your chores
Dear old Sadie

Looks as though you'll always
be a cleaning lady

Can't afford to get bored
Dear old Sadie

Looks as though you'll always
be a cleaning lady.

Oh Sadie the cleaning lady

Her Sam was what she got
hook line and sinker
To her sorrow and dismay

She's still working to this day
Her Sam turned out to be a
no good stinker

Scrub the floors do your chores
Dear old Sadie

Looks as though you'll always
be a cleaning lady

Can't afford to get bored
Dear old Sadie

Looks as though you'll always
be a cleaning lady.

Oh Sadie the cleaning lady
With trusted scrubbing
brush and pail of water

Worked her fingers to the bone
for the lad she had at home

Providing at the same time
for her daughter

Scrub the floors do your chores
Dear old Sadie

Looks as though you'll always
be a cleaning lady

Can't afford to get bored
Dear old Sadie

Looks as though you'll always
be a cleaning lady.
