Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
(Ain't no chimneys in the projects) Not in the ghetto, not in the projects
(Ain't no chimneys in the projects) No
[Verse 3]
Momma sat me down and said baby
Santa Claus, does magic things
As soon as your 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
[Verse 4]
(Ain't no chimneys in the projects) Not in the ghetto, not in the projects
(Ain't no chimneys in the projects) No, no
[Verse 5]
Now I'm all grown and I see (Grown and I see)
It wasn't Santa who that got that magic done
But momma now I know,  you were the one
There ain't no chimneys, oh, oh, oh, oh (Ain't no chimneys)
No, no, no, in the projects (Ain't no chimneys in the projects)
[Verse 6]
(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, ain't no chimneys in the projects) Momma whoa
(Not in the ghetto, ain't no chimneys in the projects)
