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)
