Biography:
George Formby, OBE (26 May 1904 – 6 March 1961), was a British actor, singer-songwriter and comedian. He sang light, comical songs, usually playing the ukulele or banjolele. He was a major star of stage and screen in the 1930s and '40s, when Formby became the UK's highest-paid entertainer. His songs such as "When I'm Cleaning Windows" were particularly popular during the Second World War (1939–45).
When he and his wife travelled throughout the war, creating improvised lyrics to songs to fit the situation, they delighted their audiences.

SHORT INTRO : G
G Em C G
Ive always had ambitions to go upon the stage,
Em Am C D7
Last night I went to bed and dreamt that I was all the rage.

Em A7 D
And a big revue part I could take.
G C G Em C D7
Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Id like a dream like that when I'm awake.
G D G D
I danced with girls dressed up in strings of pearls
Em A7 D
And all the strings started to break.
G C G Em C D7
Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Id like a dream like that when I'm awake.
C D7 G Em
It's always so real I wake up and feel, delirious with de-light
A7 Em A7 C D7
Shouting with all my might, Oh, what a wonderful night.
G D G D
A girl in fact she did a striptease act
Em A7 D D D
And a liberty she tried to take (hee hee)
G C G Em C D7
But Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Id like a dream like that when I'm awake.
G D G D
In a bedroom scene with England's Virgin queen
Em A7 D
I took the part of a feller called Drake.
G C G Em C D7
Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! I'd like a dream like that when I'm awake.
G D G D
A voice so clear it shouted "Drakey dear

But what a hot water bottle you'll make,
G C G Em C D7
Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! I'd like a dream like that when I'm awake.
G D G D Em A7 D7
Godiva's ghost I saw at my bed-post, and she gave my shoulders a shake.
G C G Em C D7
Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! I'd like a dream like that when I'm awake.
G D G D Em A7 D7
It's Peeping Tom she said I'm hiding from. So room for me you'd better make.
