[Bert] 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 shakes ´ands with you
Or blow me a kiss, and that´s lucky too
[Bert] Now as the ladder of life ´as 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 ol´ wide world, there´s no ´appier bloke
[Bert] 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 shakes ´ands with you
[Bert, Jane, Michael] 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 shakes ´ands with you
[Bert] I choose me bristles with pride, yes I do A broom for the shaft and a brush for the flue
[Bert] Up where the smoke is all billered and curled ´Tween pavement and stars is the chimney sweep world Where there´s ´ardly no day and ´ardly no night There´s things ´alf in shadow and ´alfway in light On the rooftops of London - coo, what a sight!
[Bert & Mary & both]
Chim chiminey, chim chiminey, chim chim cher-ee When you´re with a sweep, you´re in glad company Nowhere is there a more ´appier crew Than them wot sings, "Chim chim cher-ee, chim cher-oo" Chim chiminey, chim chim cher-ee, chim cher-oo
