I wouldn't want to be a chimney sweep All black from head to foot
From climbing [F] in [Gb] them chimneys [Ebm] And cleaning out [Bb] that soot
With the broom [Ab] and ladder impaled [Bb] The darkened walls I [Ab] scaled
[Bb] And far and high [B] I see a patch [Bbm] of [B] sky
[Eb] I'd rather be the [Abm] gypsy [Ebm] Who's camped at [B] the edge of town
[Gb] The one who has the dancing bear That follows [Bb] him around
And he lifts his beak for luck He [Gb] puts his beak for town
And bows and twirls [Bb] And dances round [Ebm] them
I found I was a cabin boy Last night [F] as [B] I did [Ebm] dream
[Db] Found upon [Gb] a magic ship [Ebm] For a land I'd [Bb] never seen
And the moon she filled our sails And the stars they steered our course
And on our bow [Bbm] There was a golden [B] [Abm] [Ebm] moor
[Abm] The queen eats [Ebm] fruit and candy [E] The bishop [Bb] nuts and cheese
[B] And when I am [Gb] a grown man [Ebm] I'll taste just what [Bb] I please
The honey from the bee The shellfish from the sea
[Gb] The earth, the wind, the girls Someone [B] to share these [Ebm] things with me
I wouldn't want to be a chimney sweep All black [Bb] from [Eb] head to [Ebm] foot
From climbing in them chimneys And [F] cleaning out [Ebm] that soot
