Chim - chiminey! Chim - chiminey!
Chim -chim -che - ree!
A sweep is as lucky, as lucky can be,
Chim - chiminey! Chim - chiminey!
Chim -chim -che - roo!
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 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 bloke!
Chim - chiminey! Chim - chiminey!
Chim -chim -che - ree!
A sweep is as lucky, as lucky can be,
Chim - chiminey! Chim - chiminey!
Chim -chim -che - roo!
Good luck will rub off, when I shakes hands with you!
Chim - chiminey! Chim - chiminey!
Chim -chim -che - ree!
A sweep is as lucky, as lucky can be,
Chim - chiminey! Chim - chiminey!
Chim -chim -che - roo!
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!
Break
Chim - chiminey! Chim - chiminey!
Chim -chim -che - ree!
When you're with a sweep, you're in glad compan - y,
Nowhere is there a more happier crew,
Than them what sings, 'Chim -chim -che - ree! Chim -che -roo!'
Chim - chiminey! Chim -chim -che - ree! Chim -che - roo!
