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

Chim chim cher-ee!

A sweep is as lucky, as lucky can be

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

Chim chim cher-oo!

Good luck will rub off when I shakes ′ands with you

Good luck will rub off when I shakes 'ands with you

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

In this 'ole wide world there′s no 'appier bloke

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

Chim chim cher-ee!

A sweep is as lucky, as lucky can be

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

Chim chim cher-oo!

Good luck will rub off when I shakes ′ands with you

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 flue

Though I′m covered with soot

From me 'ead to me toes

A sweep knows 'e′s welcome

Wherever ′e goes

A sweep knows 'e′s welcome

Wherever 'e goes

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

Chim chim cher-ee!

A sweep is as lucky, as lucky can be

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

Chim chim cher-oo!

Good luck will rub off when I shakes ′ands with you

In my profession, there's many a time

When I embark on a perilous climb

So, when he′s up had apparently ...

For lock with his left, he shakes hands with his right

For lock with his left, he shakes hands with his right

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

Chim chim cher-ee!

A sweep is as lucky, as lucky can be

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

Chim chim cher-oo!

Good luck will rub off when I shakes 'ands with you

And you

And you

And you
