Chim Chiminey,
Chim Chiminey, Chim Chim Cheree
A sweep is as lucky, as lucky can be
Chim Chiminey, Chim Chiminey,
Chim Chim Cheroo
Good luck will rub off
when our shakes hands with you
Oh, blow me a kiss,
an d that's lucky too
Now as the ladder of life has been strung
You may 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 happier blow
Chim chiminey, chim chiminey,
chim chim cherie
A sweep is as lucky as lucky can be
Chim chiminey, chim chiminey,
chim chim cheroo
Good luck will rub off
when I shake hands with you
Oh, blow me a kiss and
that's lucky too
I choose meat bristles with pride, yes I do
A broom for the shout and
a brush for the flu
Though I'm covered with soot
from the head to me toes
A sweep knows he's welcome
wherever he goes
Up where the smoke is all
billowed and curled
Between pavement and stars
is the chimney -sweep world
Where there's hardly no day,
no hardly no night
There's things half in shadow
and half way in light
On the rooftops of London,
what a sight!
Chim -chiminey, chim -chiminey,
chim -chim -cheree
When you're with a sweep,
you're in glad company
Nowhere is there a more happier crew
Than them what sings
chim -chim -cheree,
chim -cheroo
Chim -chiminey, chim -chiminey,
chim -chim -cheree
A sweep is as lucky
as lucky can be
Chim chiminey,
chim chiminey, chim chim to
Good luck will rub up
when I shakes hands with you
Oh, blow me a kiss,
and that's lucky too
Oh, blow me a kiss, oh,
that's lucky too
Ooh, lucky two
