Santa Claus, Go Straight to the Ghetto lyrics

Santa Claus, go straight to the ghetto

Hitch up your reindeer, uh!

And go straight to the ghetto

Santa Claus, go straight to the ghetto

Fill every stockings you find

The kids are gonna love you so, uh!

Leave a toy for Johnny

Leave a doll for Mary

Leave something pretty for Donnie

And don't forget about Gary

Santa Claus, uh, go straight to the ghetto

Santa Claus, go straight to the ghetto

Tell him James Brown sent you, huh!

And go straight to the ghetto

You know that I know that you will see

'Cause that was once me

Hit it! Hit it!

You see mothers and soul brothers

Santa Claus, go straight to the ghetto

Santa Claus, oh Lord, go straight to the ghetto

Fill every stocking you find

The kids are gonna love you so

Fill every stocking you find

You know that they need you so

I'm begging you, Santa Clause

Go straight to the ghetto

If anyone wanna know

Tell him Hank Ballard told me so

Santa Claus, go straight to the ghetto

Never thought I'd realize

I'd be singing a song with water in my eyes

Santa Claus, go straight to the ghetto

Don't leave nothing for me

I've had my chance, you see

Santa Claus, go straight to the ghetto

Santa Claus, the soul brothers need you so

Santa Claus, tell 'em James Brown sent you...
