James Brown - Santa Claus Go Straight To The Ghetto Lyrics

Santa Claus, go straight to the ghetto
Pick up your reindeer
Uh!
Go straight to the ghetto
Santa Claus, go straight to the ghetto

And every stockings you buy,
The kids are gonna love you soul
Uh!

Leave a toy for Johnny
Leave a dog for Mary
Leave something pretty for Donnie
And don't forget about Gary

Santa Claus, go straight to the ghetto
Santa Claus, go straight to the ghetto
Tell him James Brown sent you
Ha!
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
And every stockings you buy,
The kids are gonna love you soul

Pick up a stocking you find
You'll know they need you soul
I'm begging you Santa Claus,
Go straight to the ghetto

If anyone wanna know,
Tell him James Brown told you so

Santa Claus, go straight to the ghetto
Never thought I realized, I'll be singing a song
With one of you
My!
Santa Claus, go straight to the ghetto

Don't leave nothing for me
I have you
Can't you see?
Santa Claus, go straight to the ghetto
Santa Claus, the soul brothers need you soul

Santa Claus, tell him James Brown sent you...
