We Don't Have a Chimney [A SONG REVISITED]

a song—indie/acoustic—key of G

we don't have a chimney,

how's Santa gonna come?

when we wake Christmas morning

will we have any fun?

how're we gonna get presents?

any candy or toys?

will there be dolls for my sisters

or marbles for the boys?

yeah, we don't have a chimney

in our broken-down home

so i'll lie here and wonder:

how's Santa gonna come?

it's the night before Christmas

mommy's sipping her nog

daddy's lapping his lager—

and the furnace isn't on

yeah, we don't have a chimney—

how's Santa gonna come?

we won't have any sweet things—

not a single sugar plum

yeah, we don't have a chimney

we don't have a stove

so i'll lie here and wonder:

how's Santa gonna come?

the clock says eleven

it's time for bed

but i still have this worry

running 'round in my head

there may not be fire

but this place is our home;

but we don't have a chimney—

how's Santa gonna come?
