Lyrics

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 1]

Now, as the ladder of life has been strung

You might think a sweep's on the bottommost rung

Though I spends me time in the ashes and smoke

In this whole wide world, there's no happier bloke

[Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

I choose me bristles with pride, yes, I do

A broom for the shaft and a brush for the flue

[Verse 3]

Up where the smoke is all billered and curled

'Tween pavement and stars is the chimney sweep world

When there's hardly no day nor hardly no night

There's things half in shadow and halfway in light

On the rooftops of London, coo, what a sight

[Verse 4]

Chim, chim-in-ey, chim, chim-in-ey

Chim, chim, cher-ee

When you're with a sweep you're in glad company

Nowhere is there a more happier crew

Than them what sings, "Chim, chim, cher-ee, chim, cher-oo"

Chim, chim-in-ey, chim, chim, cher-ee, chim, cher-oo
