Chim chimney Chim chimney Chim chim cher-ee! A sweep is as lucky As lucky can be Chim chimney Chim chimney Chim chim cher-oo! Good luck will rub off When I shakes hands with you Or blow me a kiss And that's lucky too
Now as the ladder of life Has been strung You might think a sweep's On the bottommost rung
Though I spends me time In the ashes and smoke In this whole wide world There's no happier bloke
Chim chimney Chim chimney Chim chim cher-ee! A sweep is as lucky As lucky can be Chim chimney Chim chimney Chim chim cher-oo! Good luck will rub off When I shakes hands with you
I choose my bristles with pride Yes, I do A broom for the shaft And a broom for the flue Up where the smoke is All billered and curled 'Tween pavement and stars Is the chimney sweep world When there's hardly no day Nor hardly no night There's things half in shadow And halfway in light On the rooftops of London Coo, what a sight!
Chim chimney Chim chimney Chim chim cher-ee! When you're with a sweep You're in glad company Nowhere is there a more happier crew Than them wot sings "Chim chim cher-ee, chim cher-oo!" Chim chimney Chim chim cher-ee Chim cher-oo!
