Santa Baby Lyrics
Santa baby, just slip a sable under the tree
For me
Been an awful good girl
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight
[Verse 2]
Santa baby, a '54 convertible too
Light blue
I'll wait up for you dear
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight
[Chorus]
Think of all the fun I've missed
Think of all the fellas that I haven't kissed
Next year I could be just as good
If you'll check off my Christmas list
[Verse 3]
Santa baby, I want a yacht
And really that's not a lot
Been an angel all year
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight
[Verse 4]
Santa honey, one little thing I really need
The deed
To a platinum mine
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight
Santa cutie, and fill my stocking with a duplex
And checks
Sign your 'X' on the line
Santa cutie, and hurry down the chimney tonight
[Chorus]
Come and trim my Christmas tree
With some decorations bought at Tiffany
I really do believe in you
Let's see if you believe in me
[Verse 6]
Santa baby, forgot to mention one little thing
A ring
I don't mean on the phone
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight
[Outro]
Hurry down the chimney tonight
Hurry, tonight
About
Joan Javits, the niece of US Senator Jacob K. Javits, wrote “Santa Baby” for Kitt along with Philip Springer, and it became a holiday hit and Kitt’s most famous song that has since been covered by various artists.
Despite its popularity, this song has also faced some controversy due to its sexual undertones and has even been placed on the “Worst Christmas Songs” list.
Although on the surface the song expresses a wish-list to Santa Claus, Santa may rather be interpreted as the singer’s wealthy boyfriend – and this double meaning is portrayed throughout the song.
