Santa Claus Go Straight To The Ghetto

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 stocking 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 'em James Brown sent you, huh!

Go straight to the ghetto

You know that I know what 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 Claus

Go straight to the ghetto

If anyone wanna know

Tell 'em Hank Ballard told you 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 brother need you so

Santa Clause, tell 'em James Brown sent you
