| When I was a child I used to wonder
|
| How Santa put my toys under the tree
|
| I said, momma 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
|
| Momma sat me down and said 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 their 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
|
| Now I’m all grown and I see
|
| It wasn’t Santa who got that magic done
|
| But momma now I know, you were the one
|
| There ain’t no chimneys (ain't no chmineys), ho ho ho, no, no, no in the
|
| projects
|
| Not in the ghetto
|
| Ain’t no chimneys in the projects
|
| Momma was the one
|
| It was momma momma momma |
