Chim Chim Cher-ee Text

---

Bert:
Chim chiminey, chim chiminey
Chim chim cheree!
A sweep is as lucky, as lucky can be
Chim chiminey, chim chiminey
Chim chim cheroo!
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 chiminey, chim chiminey
Chim chim cheree!
A sweep is as lucky, as lucky can be
Chim chiminey, chim chiminey
Chim chim cheroo!
Good luck will rub off when I shakes 'ands with you

All:
Chim chiminey, chim chiminey
Chim chim cheree!
A sweep is as lucky, as lucky can be
Chim chiminey, chim chiminey
Chim chim cheroo!
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
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 chiminey, chim chiminey
Chim chim cheree!
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, cheree, chim cheroo!
