In 2005, Julie Andrews included this song as part of Julie Andrews Selects Her Favorite Disney Songs.  The song was written by Robert B. Sherman & Richard M. Sherman (the Sherman Brothers) who also won an Oscar and a Grammy Award for Mary Poppins' song score.The song was inspired by one of the drawings of a chimney sweep created by Mary Poppins' screenwriter, Don DaGradi. When asked about the drawing by the Sherman Brothers, DaGradi explained the ancient British folklore attributed to sweeps and how shaking hands with one or touching their sleeve could bring a person good luck. In their 1961 treatment, the Sherman Brothers had already amalgamated many of the P.L. Travers characters in the creation of Bert. His theme music became Chim Chim Cher-ee. Lyrics:Chim chimineyChim chimineyChim chim cher-eeA sweep is as luckyAs lucky can beChim chimineyChim chimineyChim chim cher-ooGood luck will rub off whenI shakes 'ands with youOr blow me a kissAnd that's lucky tooNow as the ladder of life'As been strungYou may think a sweep'sOn the bottommost rungThough I spends me timeIn the ashes and smokeIn this 'ole wide worldThere's no 'appier blokeChim chimineyChim chimineyChim chim cher-eeA sweep is as luckyAs lucky can beChim chimineyChim chimineyChim chim cher-ooGood luck will rub off whenI shakes 'ands with youChim chimineyChim chimineyChim chim cher-eeA sweep is as luckyAs lucky can beChim chimineyChim chimineyChim chim cher-ooGood luck will rub off whenI shakes 'ands with youI choose me bristles with prideYes, I doA broom for the shaftAnd a brush for the flumeUp where the smoke isAll billered and curled'Tween pavement and starsIs the chimney sweep worldWhen the's 'ardly no dayNor 'ardly no nightThere's things 'alf in shadowAnd 'alf way in lightOn the roof tops of LondonCoo, what a sightChim chimineyChim chimineyChim chim cher-eeWhen you're with a sweepYou're in glad companyNo where is thereA more 'appier crewThan them wot singsChim chim cher-eeChim cher-ooChim chim cher-eeChim chim cher-ee chim cher-oo.
