Chim chiminey
Chim chiminey
Chim chim cheree
A sweep is as lucky
As lucky can be
Chim chiminey
Chim chiminey
Chim chim cheroo
Good luck will rub off
When I shakes 'ands with you
Or blow me a kiss
And that's lucky too
Now as the ladder of life
'as been strung
You may think a sweep's
on the bottom-most rung
Though I spends me time
in the ashes and smoke
In this 'ole wide world
there's no 'appier bloke
Chim chiminey
Chim chiminey
Chim chim cheree
A sweep is as lucky
As lucky can be
Chim chiminey
Chim chiminey
Chim chim cheroo
Good luck will rub off
When I shakes 'ands with you
Or blow me a kiss
And that's lucky too
I choose me bristles
with pride yes I do
A broom for the shaft
And a brush for the flue
Though I'm covered with soot
from me 'ead to me toes
A sweep knows 'e's welcome
wherever 'e goes
Up where the smoke
is all billered and curled
'Tween pavement and stars
is the chimney sweep world
When there's 'ardly no day
Nor 'ardly no night
There's things 'alf in shadow
And 'alfway in light
On the rooftops of London
Coo
What a sight
Chim chiminey
Chim chiminey
Chim chim cheree
When you're with a sweep
You're in glad company
No where is there a more
'appier crew
Then them wot sings
Chim chiminey
Chim chim cheroo
Chim chiminey
Chim chim
Cheree chim cheroo
