zaclang I find this quite moving. A good rendition - a lot of veiled emotion within the voice.

lyrics

CHORUS
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 hands with you.

(Or blow me a kiss
and that's lucky too.)

1.
Now, as the ladder of [life]
has been strung,
you may think a sweep's
on the bottommost rung.

Though I spends me life
in the ashes and smoke,
in this whole wide world
there's no happier bloke.

CHORUS

3.
I choose me bristles with pride,
yes, I do:
a broom for the shaft
and a brush for the flue.

Up where the smoke is
all billered and curled,
‘tween pavement and stars
is the chimney-sweep world.

Where there’s hardly no day
and there’s hardly no night;
just things half in shadow
and halfway in light.

On the rooftops of London—
Ah!—what a sight!

CHORUS

(Chim chim cher-ee
Chim cher-oo!)
