Ain't No Chimneys in the Projects - Sharon Jones, The Dap-Kings

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
