Santa Baby
♪ Eartha Kitt Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Santa baby, slip a sable under the tree for me
Been an awful good girl
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight

Santa baby, an auto space convertible too, light blue
I'll wait up for you, dear
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight
Think of all the fun I've missed
Think of all the fellas that I haven't kissed
Next year I could be also good
If you'll check off my Christmas list

Santa honey, I want a yacht and really that's not a lot
Been an angel all year
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight

Santa cutie, there's one thing I really do need, the deed
To a platinum mine
Santa cutie, and hurry down the chimney tonight

Santa baby, and fill my stocking with a duplex and checks
Sign your 'x' on the line
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight

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

Santa baby, forgot to mention one little thing, a ring
I don't mean on the phone
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight 




Hurry down the chimney tonight 
Hurry, tonight

Overall Meaning

The song 'Santa Baby' sung by Eartha Kitt is a playful take on Christmas wishlist from a girl to Santa Claus. The song was originally released in 1953 and has since become a Christmas classic. The lyrics of the song reflect the materialistic desires of the singer as they ask for various extravagant gifts such as a sable, an auto space convertible, and even a yacht. The singer also mentions the things she has missed out on and how she could be good next year if Santa fulfills her wishlist this year.


At its core, the song is a fun take on Christmas gifting and the American consumer culture prevalent at the time of its release in the 1950s. It also reflects the aspirations of young women at the time who were eyeing luxury items and a lavish lifestyle. It has since become a beloved classic of the holiday season and is often played on the radio and in advertisements during Christmas time.
