Chim Chim Cher-ee - London Cast Recording

Up where the smoke is all billered and curled
'Tween pavement and stars is the chimney sweep world
When there's 'ardly no day nor 'ardly no night
There's things 'alf in shadow and 'alfway in light
On the rooftops of London, coo, what a sight

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

Now as the ladder of life 'as been strung
You might thing a sweep on the bottommost rung
Though I spends me time in the ashes and smoke
In this 'ole wide world there's no 'appier bloke

Chim chim-in-ey, chim chim-in-ey, chim chim cher-ee
A sweep is as lucky, as lucky can be
Chim chim-in-ey, chim chim-in-ney, chim chim cher-oo
Good luck will rub off when I shake 'ands with you
Or blow me a kiss (wot? hah) and that's lucky too

Does this mean you're goin'?
The winds 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 nothing is so hard as a child who knows everything
So?
So they've got to do the next bit on their own

Chim chim-in-ey, chim chim-in-ey, chim chim cher-ee
When you're with a sweep you're in glad company

Goodbye Burt

Chim chim, chim chim cher-ee
When you're with a sweep you're in glad company
Nowhere is there a more 'appier crew
Than them wot sings, "Chim chim cher-ee
Chim chim cher-oo"
Chim chim-in-ey, chim chim cher-ee,
Chim-

Cheerio Burt
Keep an eye on them for me
INSTRUMENTAL
Wot's happened?
Mary Poppin's things have gone
The winds changed
She's left us
Wot in the name of heaven are you two up to
Where's Mary Poppins?
She's gone
Gone?
Well if she doesn't have a heart of stone, then no mistake
She left us a note
Wot does it say?
Misses Brill, wot does "au revoir" mean?
Why?
Because that's wot she's written on it
Dear Jane and Micheal
Keep playing the games
Au revoir, Mary Poppins
Well, I'm not up on 'ese 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, I remember now
It means, till we meet again
Now, will you come on in before you catch a dench
END
