Lyrics and translation Richard M. Sherman, Robert B. Sherman - Pavement Artist (Chim Chim Cher-ee)

Pavement Artist (Chim Chim Cher-ee)

Chim chim-in-ey, chim chim-in-ey
Chim chim cher-oo!
I does what I likes and I likes what I do

Today I′m a screever and as you can see
A screever's an artist of ′ighest degree
And it's all me own work
From me own memory

Chim chim-in-ey, chim chim-in-ey
Chim chim cher-oo!
I draws what I likes and I likes what I drew
No remuneration do I ask of you
But me cap would be glad of a copper or two

Chim chim-in-ey, chim chim-in-ey
Chim chim cher-oo!
La dum, de da dum
Da da da da dum
Mmm hmm...

Artiste du trottoir (Chim Chim Cher-ee)

Chim chim-in-ey, chim chim-in-ey
Chim chim cher-oo !
Je fais ce que j'aime et j'aime ce que je fais

Aujourd'hui, je suis un screever et comme tu peux le voir
Un screever est un artiste du plus haut degré
Et tout est de mon propre travail
De ma propre mémoire

Chim chim-in-ey, chim chim-in-ey
Chim chim cher-oo !
Je dessine ce que j'aime et j'aime ce que j'ai dessiné
Je ne te demande aucune rémunération
Mais ma casquette serait ravie d'un sou ou deux

Chim chim-in-ey, chim chim-in-ey
Chim chim cher-oo !
La dum, de da dum
Da da da da dum
Mmm hmm...
