Chim chim chim-in-ey, chim chim chim-in-ey
|
|
Chim chim-in-ey, chim chim-in-ey
|
Chim chim cher-ee!
|
A sweep is as lucky, as lucky can be
|
Chim chim-in-ey, chim chim-in-ey
|
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
|
|
Chim chim chim-in-ey, chim chim chim-in-ey
|
|
Now, as the ladder of life has been strung
|
You may think a sweep¡¯s on the bottommost rung
|
Though I spend my time in the ashes and that hm-hmm
|
In this whole wide world there¡¯s no happier cat
|
|
Chim chim chim-in-ey, chim chim chim-in-ey
|
|
I choose me bristles with pride, yes, I do
|
A broom for the shaft and a brush for the flute
|
Though I¡¯m covered in soot from my head to my toe
|
A sweep knows he¡¯s welcome where¡¯er he goes
|
|
Chim chim chim chim-in-ey, chim chim chim chim-in-ey
|
Chim chim chim chim-in-ey, chim chim chim chim-in-ey
|
|
Chim chim-in-ey, chim chim-in-ey
|
Chim chim cher-ee!
|
¡¯en you¡¯re with a sweep, you¡¯re in good com¡¯any
|
Nowhere there¡¯s a more happy crew
|
Than them that sings chim cham chim cher-oo
|
|
Chim-in-ey chim-ee cher-oo chim-cher-ee!
|
|
Chim chim chim chim-in-ey [repeated]
