The Ballad of Harry Chamberlin and the Surreptitious Window Cleaner LyricsAn old inventor once said:
"Window cleaners see many things, so keep a watchful eye on them."

Harry Chamberlin had a big idea while playing on his Hammond Organ at home in California
He thought, "Why can't I press a key and hear, an orchestra?"
A clarinet?
A flute?
A vibraphone?
A violin?
A harpsichord?
A slide trombone?
So Harry set to work with a screwdriver and a dream, and in a few years of tinkering had completed the Chamberlin Machine
With a tape recording of a real instrument for every key, the orchestra in a box was a reality
Now everyone can have a big band in their home
Now everyone can have a big band in their home

Franson the window cleaners coming to town
He is looking to expand his horizons
Oh, Harry you had better watch out
Franson is blown away by Harrys invention
He offers to become the salesman
And take the Chamberlin to the nation

Who's that man?
Bill Franson

Who's that man?
Bill Franson

Harry, he never understood rock and roll
His heart belonged to the big bands now
And the Chamberlin was built for the lounge

Who's that man?
Bill Franson

Who's that man?
Bill Franson
Bill soon grew tired of Harrys lack of ambition
He saw an opportunity and so began his mission
Unknown to Harry he took a boat to England with two Chamberlins rebadged as Franson
He would find someone to imitate and refine Harrys design
He would construct and sell the Franson Mk. 1
And Bill would make his fortune
