Sadie the cleaning lady
G C
With trusty scrubbing brush and pail of water
F C A7
Worked her fingers to the bone for the life she had at home
D7 G7
Providing at the same time for her daughter
C G
Ah Sadie the cleaning lady
G C
Her aching knee's not getting any younger
F C A7
Well her red detergent hands have for years not held a mans
D7 G7
And time would find her hard in spite of hunger

Scrub your floors, do your chores, dear old Sadie

Can't afford to get bored, dear old Sadie

Looks as though you'll always be a cleaning lady

Her female mind would find a way of trapping

Though as gentle as a lamb, Sam the elevator man
D#7 G#7
So she could spend the night by TV napping
