2. Chim chiminey, chim chiminey, chim chim cheree!
When you're with a sweep you're in glad company.
Nowhere is there a more 'appier crew
Than them what sings "chim chim cheree, chim cheroo!"
Chim chiminey chim chim, cheree chim cheeroo!
I choose me bristles with pride, yes, I do:
A broom for the shaft and a brush for the flue.
Tough I'm covered with soot from the 'ead to me toes,
A sweep knows 'es welcome wherever he goes.
Up where the smoke is all billered and curled,
'Tween pavement and stars,
is the chimney sweep world.
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!
