A Clean Sweep |
Oh dear, what a to-do |
The orphan child is stuck in the flue |
We’ve pushed him and pulled him but all with no luck |
He’s well and truly stuck |
The sweep said «Oh not again |
I must be overfeeding them |
We’ll just light a fire to drive him up higher |
He’ll soon wriggle free when he’s hot» |
Oh dear, the room’s full of smoke |
Open the window before we all choke |
He hasn’t moved, but something’s improved |
His screaming and sobbing has stopped |
The sweep looked up the chimney |
Little charred legs was all he could see |
«I know how to fix this, get another apprentice |
Go up and drag the dead one free» |
I need |
A clean sweep |
So they sent to the workhouse for another small child |
The parish obliged, all handshakes and smiles |
He pulled out the dead one, went back up to sweep |
He hasn’t been seen for a week |
Clean sweep |
Clean sweep |
Clean sweep |
Clean sweep |
Clean sweep |
Clean sweep |
Clean sweep |
Clean sweep |
