Ain't No Chimneys in the Projects
When I was a child, I used to wonder
How Santa put my toys under the tree
I said, "Mama, can you tell me how this can be
When there ain't no chimneys in the projects?"
(Ain't no chimneys in the projects) not in the ghetto
Not in the projects
(Ain't no chimneys in the projects) no
Mama sat me down and said, "Baby (baby)
Santa Claus does magic things
As soon as you're asleep, a chimney will appear
And in the morning you will see all he brings"
Don't you worry that there ain't no chimneys in the projects
(Ain't no chimneys in the projects) not in the ghetto
Not in the projects
(Ain't no chimneys in the projects) no, no
Now I'm all grown, and I see (and I see)
It was the Santa who got that magic down (ooh)
Mama now I know you were the one
There ain't no chimneys (ain't no chimneys)
Oh, oh, oh, oh
No, no, no
(Ain't no chimneys in the projects) in the projects
(Ain't no chimneys in the projects) not in the ghetto
Ain't no chimneys in the projects (ain't no chimneys in the projects, not in the ghetto)
Mama was the one (ain't no chimneys in the projects, not in the ghetto)
It was mama, mama (ain't no chimneys in the projects, not in the ghetto)
How Santa put my toys under the tree
I said, "Mama, can you tell me how this can be
When there ain't no chimneys in the projects?"
(Ain't no chimneys in the projects) not in the ghetto
Not in the projects
(Ain't no chimneys in the projects) no
Mama sat me down and said, "Baby (baby)
Santa Claus does magic things
As soon as you're asleep, a chimney will appear
And in the morning you will see all he brings"
Don't you worry that there ain't no chimneys in the projects
(Ain't no chimneys in the projects) not in the ghetto
Not in the projects
(Ain't no chimneys in the projects) no, no
Now I'm all grown, and I see (and I see)
It was the Santa who got that magic down (ooh)
Mama now I know you were the one
There ain't no chimneys (ain't no chimneys)
Oh, oh, oh, oh
No, no, no
(Ain't no chimneys in the projects) in the projects
(Ain't no chimneys in the projects) not in the ghetto
Ain't no chimneys in the projects (ain't no chimneys in the projects, not in the ghetto)
Mama was the one (ain't no chimneys in the projects, not in the ghetto)
It was mama, mama (ain't no chimneys in the projects, not in the ghetto)
