Chim chiminey chim chiminey
Chim chim cheree
A chimney sweep's
lucky as lucky can be
Chim chiminey chim chiminey
Chim chim cheroo
Good luck will rub off
when I shake hands with you
Now that the ladder of life
has been strung
A chimney sweep's on
the bottom most rung
Though I spend my time
in the ashes and smoke
In this whole wide world
there's no happier bloke
Chim chiminey chim chiminey
Chim chim cheree
A chimney sweep's
lucky as lucky can be
Chim chiminey chim chiminey
Chim chim cheroo
Good luck will rub off
when I shake hands with you
In my profession
there's many a time
When I embark
on a perilous climb
Up where the smoke is all
billowed and curled
The pavement and stars
is the chimney sweep's world
Gables and rooftops
become Taj Mahals
And blimey the chimney's
are great Chinese walls
The pillars of Hercules
loom left and right
The Sphinx the Acropolis
Oo what a sight
Chim chiminey chim chiminey
Chim chim cheree
A chimney sweep's
lucky as lucky can be
Chim chiminey chim chiminey
Chim chim cheroo
Good luck will rub off
when I shake hands with you
Or blow me a kiss
and that's lucky too
