Chorus:
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.
Or blow me a kiss and that's lucky too.
(Instrumental)
 
Verse:
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 'ole wide world there's no 'appier bloke.
