Last night a cleaner saved my life
She chose the words that made me feel alright
As she polished my sinks bright
But as she turned and walked away
With her overall and spray
I didn't tell her what she'd done
As she switched her Hoover on
Last night a cleaner saved my life
Lit a torch of warmth and light
With a smile that doesn't try
Last night a cleaner saved my life
Last night a cleaner saved my life
She made me feel that everything's alright
As she dusted my ceiling light
And as she turned to walk away
I wanted her to stay
And mop that classroom floor
For just five minutes more
Last night a cleaner saved my life
Lit a torch of warmth and light
With a smile that doesn't try
Last night a cleaner saved my life
Last night a cleaner saved my life
She brushed away my sorrow and my pain
As she wiped my desk again
And as the dust was coming off
Her anti-static cloth
I didn't feel that bad at all
As she left to buff the hall
Last night a cleaner saved my life
Lit a torch of warmth and light
With a smile that doesn't try
Last night a cleaner saved my live
