[Chorus:]
Skipping round a chimney stack,
Flue by flue;
Racing up the roof and back,
Two by two;
Hastening and hurrying,
Scampering and scurrying,
Here and there and everywhere,
Crazy crew,
Hastening and hurrying,
On the tiles,
Scampering and scurrying,
Miles and miles,
Here and there and everywhere,
Tripping it and skipping it,
Tripping it and skipping it,
Two by two.
When the daylight fades and wanes,
When the world's asleep,
Past the darkened window-panes,
Cautiously we creep.
Where the shadows on the walls
Lie as black as jet,
Magic of the moonlight calls
Pierrot and Pierrette.
When the daylight fades and wanes,
When the world's asleep,
Past the darkened window-panes,
Cautiously we creep.
Where the shadows on the walls
Lie as black as jet,
Magic of the moonlight calls
Pierrot and Pierrette.
Skipping round a chimney stack,
Flue by flue;
Racing up the roof and back,
Two by two;
Hastening and hurrying,
Scampering and scurrying,
Here and there and everywhere,
Crazy crew,
Hastening and hurrying,
On the tiles,
Scampering and scurrying,
Miles and miles,
Here and there and everywhere,
Tripping it and skipping it,
Tripping it and skipping it,
Two by two.
