Chim Chim Cheree

Chim, chim-in-ey
Chim, chim-in-ey
Chim, chim, cher-ee!
A chimneysweep's lucky, as lucky can be

Chim, chim-in-ey
Chim, chim-in-ey
Chim, chim, cher-oo!
Good luck will rub off when I shake hands with you

Now that the ladder of life has been strung
A chimneysweep's on the bottommost rung
Though I spend my time in the ashes and smoke
In this whole wide world, there's no happier bloke

Chim, chim-in-ey
Chim, chim-in-ey
Chim, chim, cher-ee!
A chimneysweep's lucky, as lucky can be

Chim, chim-in-ey
Chim, chim-in-ey
Chim, chim, cher-oo!
Good luck will rub off when I shake hands with you

Now, in my profession, there's many a-time
When I embark on a perilous climb
Up where the smoke is all billowed and curled
'Twixt pavement and stars, is a chimneysweep world

Chim, chim-in-ey
Chim, chim-in-ey
Chim, chim, cher-ee!
A chimneysweep's lucky, as lucky can be

Chim, chim-in-ey
Chim, chim-in-ey
Chim, chim, cher-oo!
Good luck will rub off when I shake hands with you

Gables and rooftops become Taj Mahals
And, blimey, the chimneys aren't Greek-Chinese walls!
The pillars of Hercules loom left and right
The Sphinx, the Acropolis
Woo, what a sight!

Chim, chim-in-ey
Chim, chim-in-ey
Chim, chim-in-ey
Chim, chim-in-ey!

Chim, chim-in-ey
Chim, chim-in-ey
Chim, chim, cher-ee!
A chimneysweep's lucky, as lucky can be

Chim, chim-in-ey
Chim, chim-in-ey
Chim, chim, cher-oo!
Good luck will rub off when I shake hands with you

Or blow me a kiss
And that's lucky, too!

Chim, chim, cher-oo!
