It is sung by Bert, the chimney sweep Dick Van Dyke and the other chimney sweeps on the rooftops of London. In the film Mary Poppins , during the first part of the song, the lines he says in the verses are "Kick your knees up", "'Round the chimney ", "Flap like a birdie", "Up on the railing", "Over the rooftops" and "Link your elbows" followed by an interlude. The interlude continues with Bert, Mary Poppins, Michael, Jane and all the chimney sweepers dancing around the rooftops and as Admiral Boom looks at them with the telescope , he thinks that they're Hottentots , so he orders Mr. Binnacle to make them scram with colorful fireworks.

The song was written by Robert B. 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 could bring a person good luck. In their treatment, the Sherman Brothers had already amalgamated many of the P. Travers characters in the creation of "Bert". His theme music became "Chim Chim Cher-ee". In addition to the "standard" version of the song which Bert sings to the children, he sings short snippets of the song to himself at various times, with different verses specific to an unfolding plot element. The " Mentsch " music group notes some similarities with a Yiddish song written by Itsik Manger named "Vaylu".
I guess if u believe an angel with a sword really did force Joseph Smith to marry those girls. Life is too short. But of course this does not mean that mixed religion children cannot grow up to be LDS stalwarts. Having said that I'm not looking to get married any time soon, so no. Hi ladies, I'm looking for some advice. I learned, growing up, that very principle, that you HAD to marry a member or your marriage was doomed. Everyone has their own sins and impure thoughts they need to overcome.
