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 a [Ebm] broom and [Bb] ladder impaled, the darkened walls I scale,
and far and high [B] I see a patch [Bbm] of [Ebm] sky.
_ I'd rather be the gypsy [Abm] [Ebm] who's camped at the edge of town,
the one who has the dancing bear that follows him [Bb] around.
_ _ And he lifts his big foot up, [B] he puts [Bb] his big [Gb] foot down,
and bows and [Bb] twirls and dances round [Ebm] and round. _
I found I was a cabin boy last night as I did dream,
found [Gb] upon a magic [Ebm] ship for a land I'd [Bb] never seen.
_ _ And the moon she filled our sails, and [F] the stars they steered our [Bb] course,
and on our bow [Bbm] there was a golden [Abm] _ [Ebm] horse.
[Abm] The queen eats food and [Ebm] candy, the bishop nuts and cheese,
and when I am [Gb] a grown [Ebm] man I'll taste just what [Bb] I please.
_ _ The honey from the bee, [Bb] the shellfish from the sea,
[Gb] the earth, the wind, a girl, someone [B] to share these things [Ebm] with me. _ _
