Discover the story of the song > Mr Wu’s a Window Cleaner Now – George Formby

The song is about a man named Mr. Wu who used to run a laundry business, but it didn't work out so he became a window cleaner instead. His wife is upset with him because he spends all day climbing ladders and peeping at women through their windows. Some of his former laundry customers are upset because they feel neglected, and some women are going out without their stockings because Mr. Wu is now too busy cleaning windows to wash them.
