Lyrics
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

Ahh Sadie, the cleaning lady
Her aching knees not getting any younger
Well her red detergent hands, have 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

Ahh Sadie, the cleaning la-ady
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

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

Ahh, 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

Ahh 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 nervous figure

Ahh, 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 (fade)

John Farnham – Sadie (The Cleaning Lady)
Sadie, the cleaning lady / 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
John Farnham – Friday Kind of Monday
(Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na) / It's a Friday kind of Monday / Everything is fine, yeah-eah / It's a Friday kind of Monday / Look at the sunshine... yeah-eah
John Farnham (Ft. Human Nature) – Every Time You Cry
Never before have I seen you look so blue / I can't find a cure and nothing comforts you / But the light at the end of the tunnel / Doesn't shine at the end of the day / Every time
John Farnham – Man Of the Hour
The ice is melting in my glass / There's a storm out on the ocean / A picture in a golden frame lying cracked and broken / If you lined up all the losers and stood them in my shoes
