John Farnham – Sadie (The Cleaning Lady) Chords

Sadie, the cleaning lady,
With trusty scrubbing brush and pail of water
Worked her fingers to the bone,
for the life she had at home
Providing at the same time for her daughter

Ah Sadie, the cleaning lady,
Her aching knees not getting any younger
Well her red detergent hands,
Had for years not held a man’s
And time would find her heart expired of hunger

Scrub your 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

Ah Sadie, the cleaning lady,
Her female mind would find a way of trapping
Though as gentle as a lamb, Sam the elevator man
So she could spend the night by TV napping.

Ah 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 your 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
