Bert
Chim chimney, chim chimney, chim chim cher-ee!
A sweep is as lucky, as lucky can be
Chim chimney, chim chimney, chim chim cher-oo!
Good luck will rub off
When I shake hands 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 spend me time in the ashes and smoke
In this 'ole wide world there's no 'appier bloke
Chim chimney, chim chimney, chim chim cher-ee!
A sweep is as lucky, as lucky can be
Chim chimney, chim chimney, chim chim cher-oo!
Good luck will rub off
When I shake hands with you
Bert with Jane and Michael
Chim chimney, chim chimney, chim chim cher-ee!
A sweep is as lucky, as lucky can be
Chim chimney, chim chimney, chim chim cher-oo!
Good luck will rub off
When I shake hands with you
Bert
I choose me bristles with pride, yes I do
A broom for the shaft
And brush for the flue
Up where the smoke is all billered and curled
'Tween pavement and stars is the chimney sweep world
When there's 'ardly no day
Nor 'ardly no night
There's things 'alf in shadow
And 'alfway in light
On the rooftops of London
Coo, what a sight!
Mary Poppins
Chim chimney, chim chimney, chim chim cher-ee!
When you're with a sweep
You're in a glad company
Bert
Nowhere is there a more 'appier crew
Mary Poppins and Bert
Than them what sings
chim chim cheree, chim cheroo!
Chim chimney chim chim, cheree chim cheroo!
