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 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 sweeps
On the bottommost rung
Though I spends me time
In the ashes and smoke
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, chimney
Chim, chimney
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 chimney
Chim, chim, cher-ee
Chim, cher-oo
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 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 sweeps On the bottommost rung Though I spends me time In the ashes and smoke 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, chimney Chim, chimney 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 chimney Chim, chim, cher-ee Chim, cher-oo Explain Request ×
