Joanna Robertson. The siblings were born in Southern California, where parents Barny and Carter Robertson (both of whom had previously toured with Waylon Jennings as members of the Waylors) filled their home with country and Christian music. Inspired by such surroundings, the three sisters began staging shows inside the Robertson household, charging a quarter for admission and providing food during intermission. They also made their major-label debut when Jennings enlisted the girls to sing on Cowboys, Sisters, Rascals & Dirt, a country album aimed at children and produced by the girls' father.
The Robertsons soon relocated to Nashville, where their house saw its share of legendary visitors, from the Jennings family (including wife Jessi Colter and son Shooter Jennings) to members of the Crickets. The sisters began honing their three-part harmonies and songwriting skills, which eventually caught the ear of country star Toby Keith. Following a well-played showcase at a Nashville club on Valentine's Day 2006, Keith signed the sisters, who christened their group "Carter's Chord" in reference to a musical triad. Now signed to the Show Dog Nashville label, Carter's Chord entered the studio to record their self-titled debut with both Keith and Barny Robertson sharing production duties. "Young Love," the album's first single, was released to country radio stations in October 2007, and the full-length record followed in 2008. ~

Santa Baby, slip a sable under the tree, For me.
Iive been an awful good girl,
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight
Santa baby, a i54 convertible too, light blue
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight
Think of all the fun Iive missed
Think of all the fellows that I havenit kissed
Next year I could be oh so good
If you check off my Christmas list
Santa honey, I want a yacht
And really thatis not, a lot
Iive been an angel all year
Santa baby, please hurry down the down the chimney tonight
Santa cutie, thereis one thing that I really do need
The deed, to a platinum mine
Santa cutie, and hurry down the chimney tonight
Santa baby, fill my stocking with a duplex, and checks
Sign your ixi on the line
Santa baby, hurry down the chimney tonight
Come and trim my Christmas tree
With some decorations bought at Tiffanyis
I really do, believe in you
So lets see if you, believe in me
Santa baby, forgot to mention one little thing
A ring
And I donit mean on the phone
Santa baby, please hurry down the chimney tonight
Hurry down the chimney tonight
Hurry tonight
The lyrics to "Santa Baby" by Carter's Chord is about a girl who is addressing Santa Claus with her wishes for Christmas. She starts by asking for a sable to be slipped under the tree for her, as she has been an "awful good girl." Eventually, she moves on to bigger things: a "’54 convertible too, light blue" and "the deed to a platinum mine." She also asks for a yacht and for Santa to fill her stocking with a duplex and checks. In between, she mentions how good she can be next year if Santa checks off her list and how she believes in Santa.
However, the song's true meaning goes much deeper than a girl's wish list for Santa Claus. The lyrics are actually quite seductive and flirty, with the girl using her feminine charm to manipulate Santa into giving her the gifts she wants. It's an interesting take on the traditional idea of Santa Claus as a jolly, grandfatherly figure, and it also speaks to the idea of using one's sexuality to achieve one's desires.
Overall, "Santa Baby" is a catchy, playful tune that is often played during the holiday season. Its combination of seduction and materialism, with a dash of Christmas spirit, makes it a unique addition to any holiday playlist.
