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 'ands with you
Or blow me a kiss
And that's lucky too
Now as the ladder of life 'as 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 'ole wide world there's no 'appier 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 'ands 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 'ands with you
I choose me bristles with pride, yes, I do
A broom for the shaft
And a brush for the flume
Up where the smoke is all billered and curled
'Tween pavement and stars
Is the chimney sweep world
When the's hardly no day
Nor 'ardly no night
There's things 'alf in shadow
And 'alf way in light
On the roof tops 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
No where is there a more 'appier crew
Than them wot sings
Chim chim cher-ee, chim cher-oo
Chim chiminey, chim chim
Cher-ee chim cher-oo
