Santa Claus Got Stuck In My Chimney
Ella Fitzgerald · Other Songs - Ella Fitzgerald
Stuck in my chimney, stuck in the chimney
Santa Claus got stuck in my chimney
When he came last year
There he was in middle of the chimney
Roly-poly, fat, and round
There he was in middle of the chimney
Not quite up and not quite down
Santa, please, come back to my chimney
Back to my chimney, back
Santa, please, come back to my chimney
You can come back here
'Cause baby made a brand new chimney
Just for you this year
Santa, come on back
