Chim Chim Cheree

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 shake '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 bottommost 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 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 shake '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 shake '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

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 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!
(On the) Chim chiminey chim chim
Cher-ee chim cher-oo!"
