Up where the smoke is all billowed and curled,
Dm Am B7 E7
'Tween pavement and stars, is the Chimney Sweep world,
Am Dm
When there's hardly no day, nor hardly no night,
Dm Am E7 Am
There's things ...half in shadow, ...and halfway in light,
Dm Am E7 Am
On the rooftops of London, cor, ...what a sight!
