Chim chim-ney
Chim chim-ney
Chim chim cheree
A sweep is as lucky as lucky can be
Chim chim-ney
Chim chim-ney
Chim chim cheroo
Good luck will rub off when I shakes hands with you
Oh blow me a kiss
And that's lucky too
Now that the ladder of life has been strung
You might think a sweep's on the bottom most rung
Though I spends me time in the ashes and smoke
In this whole wide world there's no 'appier bloke
Chim chim-ney
Chim chim-ney
Chim chim cheree
A sweep is as lucky as lucky can be
Chim chim-ney
Chim chim-ney
Chim chim cheroo
Good luck will rub off when I shakes hands with you
Chim chim-ney
Chim chim-ney
Chim chim cheree
A sweep is as lucky as lucky can be
Chim chim-ney
Chim chim-ney
Chim chim cheroo
Good luck will rub off when I shakes hands 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 billowed and curved
Between pavement and stars is the chimney sweep world
When there's hardly no day, no hardly no night
There's things half in shadow and halfway in light
On the rooftops of London
What a sight
Chim chim-ney
Chim chim-ney
Chim chim cheree
When you're with a sweep you're in glad company
Nowhere is there a more 'appier crew
Than them what sings
Chim chim cheree
Chim cheroo
