Chim Chim Cher-ee Lyrics
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 hands with you
Or blow me a kiss
And that’s lucky too
Now as the ladder
Of life has been strung
You may 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
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 hands with you
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 hands with you
I choose me bristles
With pride, yes, I do
A broom for the shaft
And a brush for the flue
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!
Chim chiminey
Chim chiminey
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 chiminey chim chim
Cher-ee chim cher-oo!”
Chim chiminey
Chim chiminey
Chim chim cher-oo
I does what I likes and I likes what I do
Today I’m a screever and as you can see
A screever’s an artist of highest degree
And it’s all me own work
From me own memory
Chim chiminey
Chim chiminey
Chim chim cher-oo
I draws what I likes and I likes what I drew
No remuneration do I ask of you
But me cap would be glad of a copper or two
Me cap would be glad of a copper or two
