Lyrics

*Chim chiminey, chim chiminey, chim chim cher-ee*

*A sweep is as lucky as lucky can be*

*Chim chiminey, chim chiminey, chim chim cher-oo*

*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 ol' wide world, there's no 'appier bloke*

 

*Chim chiminey, chim chiminey, chim chim cher-ee*

*A sweep is as lucky as lucky can be*

*Chim chiminey, chim chiminey, chim chim cher-oo*

*Good luck will rub off when I shakes 'ands with you*

 

*Chim chiminey, chim chiminey, chim chim cher-ee*

*A sweep is as lucky as lucky can be*

*Chim chiminey, chim chiminey, chim chim cher-oo*

*Good luck will rub off when I shakes 'ands with you*

 

*I choose me bristles with pride, yes I do*

*A broom for the shaft and a brush for the flue*

 

*Up where the smoke is all billered and curled*

*'Tween pavement and stars is the chimney sweep world*

*Where there's 'ardly no day and '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 cher-ee*

*When you're with a sweep, you're in glad company*

*Nowhere is there a more 'appier crew*

*Than them wot sings, "Chim chim cher-ee, chim cher-oo"*

*Chim chiminey, chim chim cher-ee, chim cher-oo*
