Dm (riff 1)

C                   Am                    Dm
Daylight dawns, you wake up and yawn, Mr. Clean.
  C                       Am                        Dm
A piece of toast from the one you love most and you leave.
    Am                     G
You catch your bus, in the 8'o'clock rush,
    Am                       G
And catch your train, in the morning rain.
    C          C
Mr. Clean, Mr. Clean.

Dm (riff 1)

C              Am                   Dm
If you see me, in the street, look away.
    C                              Am                 Dm
Cos I don't ever want to catch you looking at me, Mr. Clean.
    Am          G
Cos I hate you, and your wife,
    Am                       G
And if I get the chance I'll fuck up your life.
    C          C
Mr. Clean, Mr. Clean.
        Dm (riff 1)
Is that seen?

  Em7                   Dm7
Surround  yourself with dreams,
   C                      G          Am   D
Of pretty young girls and anyone you want but,
Em7                 Dm7    C         G     Am    D
Please don't forget me, or any of my kind,
         Em7             Dm7
Cos I'll make you think again,
       C                      G
When I stick your face in the grind.

  C              Bm       C                               Bm

Getting pissed, at the annual office do,

Smart new suit, and you went to Cambridge too,
    C                             Bm
You miss page 3, but the Times is right for you,
                         Bm
And mum and dad are very proud of you.

Mr. Clean, Mr. Clean.
