Lyrics
0:48I wouldn't want to be a chimney sweep
0:52All black from head to foot
0:56From climbing in them chimneys
1:00And cleaning out that soot
1:06With a broom and ladder and nail
1:09The darkened walls I scale
1:13And far and high
1:17I see a patch of sky
1:23I'd rather be the gypsy
1:27Who's camped aat the edge of town
1:31The one who has the dancing bear
1:35That follows him around
1:41And he lifts his big foot up
1:44He puts his big foot down
1:47Then bows then twirls
1:49Then dances round and round
1:55I found I was a cabin boy
1:59Last night as I did dream
2:03Bound aboard a magic ship
2:07For a land I'd never seen
2:13And the moon she filled our sails
2:17And the stars they steered our course
2:21And on our bow
2:24There was a golden horse
2:31The queen eats fruit and candy
2:34The bishop nuts and cheese
2:38And when I am a grown man
2:42I'll taste just what I please
2:48The honey from the bee
2:51The shellfish from the sea
2:54The earth the wind a girl
2:56Someone to share these things with me
3:02I wouldn't want to be a chimney sweep
3:06All black from head to foot
3:10From climbing in them chimneys
3:14And cleaning out that soot
3:18I'd rather be the gypsy
3:22Who's camped aat the edge of town
3:26The one who has the dancing bear
3:30That follows him around
I wouldn't want to be a chimney sweep All black from head to foot From climbing in them chimneys And cleaning out that soot With a broom and ladder and nail The darkened walls I scale And far and high I see a patch of sky I'd rather be the gypsy Who's camped aat the edge of town The one who has the dancing bear That follows him around And he lifts his big foot up He puts his big foot down Then bows then twirls Then dances round and round I found I was a cabin boy Last night as I did dream Bound aboard a magic ship For a land I'd never seen And the moon she filled our sails And the stars they steered our course And on our bow There was a golden horse The queen eats fruit and candy The bishop nuts and cheese And when I am a grown man I'll taste just what I please The honey from the bee The shellfish from the sea The earth the wind a girl Someone to share these things with me I wouldn't want to be a chimney sweep All black from head to foot From climbing in them chimneys And cleaning out that soot I'd rather be the gypsy Who's camped aat the edge of town The one who has the dancing bear That follows him around
