lyrics

Julie lit a fire and the room filled up with smoke
There’s something up the chimney darling
This is not a joke
We’ll grab the brush and broom and then we’ll give the thing a poke
and when we’ve cleaned the chimney we’ll be cosy by the stove

There’s probably a little bird that’s nesting in the stack
and i’m sorry little birdy but we need the chimney back now
there’s something really stuck up there
I hit it with a broom
And what fell out but a blackened shoe?

Julie cried “My love I fear I know this shoe too well!
There’s a body in the chimney and it’s that of Jean-Michel!
I’ve seen him in the gutter and I’ve seen him in the cell
Let us drag him from the chimney now
before he starts to smell”

They tied a rope around his leg and tried to pull him down
But he was stuck in too tightly so they called the boys from town
The boys climbed on the roof and tried to pull him out the top
and down below Julie pushed him with a mop

Now Jean-Michel the thief is safely buried in the grave
And Julie and her husband can sit warmly by the stove
And sometimes they hear noises but they do not feel afraid
For it’s only birds a nesting and the chimney’s been replaced

And sometimes things go missing but they cannot really tell
So they either blame each other or the ghost of Jean-Michel
So if your things go missing or chimney starts to smell
Keep your eyes wide open for the ghost of Jean-Michel!
