Now, as the ladder of life 'as been strung

Or blow me a kiss and that's lucky too
Instrumental -x2-: AmDmFCEVerse:
AmDm
I choose me bristles with pride, yes, I do
FCEA broom for the shaft and a brush for the flue
AmDm
Up where the smoke is all billered and curled
FCEAm
'Tween pavement and stars is the chimney sweep world
AmDm
When there's 'ardly no day nor 'ardly no night
FCE
There's things 'alf in shadow and 'alfway in light
FAmEAm
On the rooftops of London oh, what a sight!
