Chim Chim Cheree (Live At The Half Note, New York, 1963)

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 shake '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 botton 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 shake '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 shake '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 hardly no day

Nor hardly no night

There's thing half in shadow

And halfway in light

On the rooftops of London

Coo what 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 wot sings

Chim chiminey

Chim chim cher ee

Chim cher oo

Chim chiminey

Chim chim cher ee

Chim cher oo
