Lyrics
The Chipmunks:
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
Dave:
Now as the ladder of life 'as been strung (ooh)
You may think a sweep's (ooh)
On the bottommost rung (ooh)
Though I spends me time (ooh)
In the ashes and smoke (ooh)
In this 'ole wide world (ooh)
There's no 'appier bloke (ooh)
Alvin:
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
The Chipmunks:
Way up where the smoke is
All billered and curled
'Tween pavement and stars is
The chimney sweep world
Dave:
When there's 'ardly no day, nor 'ardly no night (ooh)
There's things 'alf in shadow, and 'alfway in light (ooh)
The Chipmunks & Dave:
On the rooftops of London
Coo, what a sight!
The Chipmunks:
(Aah, aah)
Chim chiminey, chim chiminey
Chim chim cher-ee!
When you're with a sweep
You're in glad company
Dave:
Nowhere is there a more 'appier crew (ooh)
Than them wot sings (ooh)
"Chim chim cher-ee, chim cher-oo!" (ooh)
The Chipmunks:
Chim chiminey, chim chim
Cher-ee, chim cher-oo!
Chim chiminey, chim chim
Cher-ee, chim cher-oo!
Chim chiminey, chim chim
Cher-ee, chim cher-oo!
Chim chiminey, chim chim
Cher-ee, chim cher-oo!
