Chim Chim Cher-Ee (1964 Recording) - Dick Van Dyke, Julie Andrews, Karen Dotrice

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 ol' 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 flue

Up where the smoke is all billered and curled

'Tween pavement and stars is the chimney sweep world

Where there’s 'ardly no day and 'ardly no night

There’s things 'alf in shadow and 'alfway in light

On the rooftops of London — coo, what a sight
