Lyrics Chim Chim Cher-ee - Edgar Oceransky , Tarang Nagi

Up where the smoke is all billered and curled
'Tween pavement and stars is the chimney sweep's world
When it's hardly no day, nor hardly no night
There's things half in shadows and halfways in light
On the rooftops of London
Coo, what a sight

Oh, you're a sweep now, are you?
Best view in the world, aye
And who gets to see it? The birds, the stars
And the chimney sweeps
Nothin' to beat it, aye

Now, as the ladder of life has 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 whole wide world there's no happier bloke

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 he shakes hands with you

Or blow me a kiss (but-)
And that's lucky too

Does this mean you're goin'?
The wind's changed
Ah, but they're good kids, Mary
Would I be bothering with them if they weren't?
But I can't help them if they won't let me
And no one is so hard to teach as a child who knows everything
So?
So, they've got to do the next bit on their own

Chim-chiminey, chim-chiminey, chim-chim cher-ee
When you're with a sweep, you're in a glad company
Goodbye, Bert
Chim, chim, chim-chim cher-ee
When you're with a sweep, you're in a glad company
Nowhere is there a more happier crew
Than them's what sings, "Chim-chim cher-ee, chim-cher-oo"
Chim-chiminey, chim-chim cher-ee, chim-
Cheerio, bud, keep an eye on them for me

What's happened? Mary Poppins' things have gone
The wind's changed, she's left us
What in the name of heaven are you two up to?
Oh dear, where's Marry Poppins?
She's gone
Gone?
Well, if she doesn't have a heart of stone, then no mistake

She left us a note
What does it say?
Mrs Brill, what does "au revoir" mean?
Why?
Because that's what she's written on it
"Dear Jane and Michael, keep playing the games
Au revoir, Mary Poppins"

Well, I'm not up on these foreign tongues
But it's French, I know that
Now, let's see, does it mean "God bless you"?
Or is it "good luck"?
Oh, no, I remember now
It means "'til we meet again"
Now, will you come on in before you catch your death?
