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 soot
|
In this 'ole wide world
|
There's no 'appier bloke
|
|
Up where the smoke is
|
All billered and curled
|
'Tween pavement and stars
|
Is the chimney sweep world
|
|
When the's 'ardly no day
|
Nor 'ardly no night
|
There's things 'alf in shadow
|
And 'alf way in light
|
On the roof tops of London
|
Coo, what a sight!
|
|
I choose me bristles with pride
|
Yes, I do
|
A broom for the shaft
|
And a broom for the flume
|
|
Though I'm covered with soot
|
From me 'ead to me toes
|
A sweep knows 'e's welcome
|
Wherever 'e goes
|
|
Chim chiminey
|
Chim chiminey
|
Chim chim cher-ee!
|
When you're with a sweep
|
You're in glad company
|
|
No where 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!
