On the rooftops of London, coo,

what a sight!

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!
