Ammaj7
Chim - chiminey! Chim - chiminey!
Chim -chim -che - ree!
A sweep is as lucky, as lucky can be,
Ammaj7
Chim - chiminey! Chim - chiminey!
Chim -chim -che - roo!
Good luck will rub off, when I shakes hands with you,
Or blow me a kiss, ...and that's lucky too!
Ammaj7
Now, as the ladder of life has been strung,
You may think a sweep's on the bottom most rung,
Ammaj7
Though I spends me time in the ashes and smoke,
In this whole wide world there's no happier bloke!
Ammaj7
Chim - chiminey! Chim - chiminey!
Chim -chim -che - ree!
A sweep is as lucky, as lucky can be,
Ammaj7
Chim - chiminey! Chim - chiminey!
Chim -chim -che - roo!
Good luck will rub off, when I shakes hands with you!
Ammaj7
Chim - chiminey! Chim - chiminey!
Chim -chim -che - ree!
A sweep is as lucky, as lucky can be,
Ammaj7
Chim - chiminey! Chim - chiminey!
Chim -chim -che - roo!
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,

G#mmaj7
Up where the smoke is all billered and curled,
'Tween pavement and stars, is the chimney sweep world,
G#mmaj7
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!

Ammaj7
Chim - chiminey! Chim - chiminey!
Chim -chim -che - ree!
When you're with a sweep, you're in glad compan - y,
Ammaj7
Nowhere is there a more happier crew,
Than them what sings, 'Chim -chim -che - ree! Chim -che -roo!'
Chim - chiminey! Chim -chim -che - ree! Chim -che - roo!
