Lyrics and Chords
[Mary Poppins]
{Refrain}
Chim chiminey, chim chiminey, chim chim cheree
A sweep is as lucky, as lucky can be
Chim chiminey, chim chiminey, chim chim cheroo
Good luck will rub off when I shakes hands with you
/ Dm Dm/maj7 Dm7 G / Gm Dm E A7 / 1st / Gm Dm A7 Dm /
Or blow me a kiss and that's lucky too
/ Gm Dm A7 Dm /
Now, as the ladder of life has 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 whole wide world there's no happier bloke
{Refrain}
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 head to me toes
A sweep knows he's welcome wherever he goes
A sweep knows he's welcome wherever he goes
Up where the smoke is all billowed and curled
'Tween pavement and stars, is the chimney sweep world
When there's hardly no day nor hardly no night
There's thing's half in shadow and halfway in light
On the rooftops of London, cor, what a sight
Chim chiminey, chim chiminey, chim chim cheree
When you're with a sweep you're in glad company
Nowhere is there a more happier crew
Than them what sings, "Chim chim cheree, chim cheroo
Chim chiminey, chim chim cheree, chim cheroo!"
