Lyrics for Porter's Love Song To A Chambermaid
scotts...@alumni.brown.edu
I searched the web a lot to find the lyrics to that song, but to no
avail. Anyone have the lyrics for that tune by Fats Waller?
Many thanks, Scott

Tho’ my position is of low degree
And all the others may look down on me,
I’ll go smiling thru,
That’s if I have you
I am the happiest of troubadours
Thinking of you while I’m massaging floors
At my leisure time
I made up this rhyme:
I will be the oil mop
If you’ll be the oil
Then we both could mingle
Ev’ry time we toil
I will be the washboard
If you’ll be the tub
Think of all the Mondays
We can rub-a-dub
I will be your shoebrush
If you’ll be my shoe
Then I’d keep you bright, dear
Feeling good as new
If you’ll be my razor
I will be your blade
That’s a porter’s love song
To a chambermaid.
I will be your dustpan
If you will be my broom
We could work together
All around the room
I will be your clothespin
Be my pulley line
We’ll hang out together
Wouldn’t that be fine?
I will be your dishpan
If you’ll be my dish
We’ll meet after meals, dear
What more could you wish?
I will be your window
Be my window shade,
That’s a porter’s love song
To a chambermaid
I'm not sure if those are the complete lyrics but I hope they're what
you want.
