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 'ands with you Or blow me a kiss and that's lucky too Now, as the ladder of life as been strung You might think a sweep's on the bottommost rung Though I spends me time in the ashes and smoke In this ole wide world there's no appier bloke 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 'ands with you 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 'ands with you I choose me bristles with pride, yes, I do A broom for the shaft and a brush for the flute Up where the smoke is all billered and curled Tween pavement and stars is the chimney sweep world When there's 'ardly no day nor 'ardly no night There's things 'alf in shadow and alfway in light On the rooftops of London coo, what a sight! 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 'appier crew Than them wot sings, Chim chim cher-ee, chim cher-oo! Chim chim-in-ey, chim chim cher-ee, chim cher-oo!
