Santa baby, slip a sable under the tree, for me
Been an awful good girl
Santa baby, hurry down the chimney tonight
I'll wait up for you dear
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight
Think of all the fun I've missed
Think of all the fellows I haven't kissed
Next year I could be just as good
If you check off my Christmas list
Boo doo bee doo
Santa baby, I want a yacht and really
That's not a lot
I've been an angel all year
Santa baby, hurry down the chimney tonight
Santa baby, I'm a little afarid I really do need the deed
To a platinum mine
Santa baby, hurry down the chimney tonight
Santa cutie, fill my stocking with a duplex and checks
Sign your X on the line
Santa cutie, hurry down the chimney tonight
Come and trim my Christmas tree
With some decorations bought at Tiffany's
I really do believe in you
Let's see if you believe in me
Boo doo bee doo
Santa baby, forgot to mention one little thing
A ring, no I don't mean on the phone
Santa honey, hurry down the chimney tonight
Hurry down the chimney tonight
Please hurry down the chimney.. tonight
I love you Santa
The lyrics of "Santa Baby" convey the playful and flirtatious nature of the singer's relationship with Santa Claus. The song begins with the singer eagerly awaiting Santa's arrival, requesting him to bring her a luxurious sable fur as a Christmas gift. She affirms that she has been a good girl, emphasizing her deservingness of this special present.
As the song continues, the singer's wishes become more extravagant. She requests a 1954 convertible car, expressing her anticipation and willingness to wait up for Santa's arrival. The mention of the car being light blue adds to the image of luxury and desire.
The singer then reflects on the missed opportunities and romantic encounters she has not experienced. However, she suggests that if Santa grants her wishes this year, she promises to be just as good next year. This indicates that she sees the fulfillment of her desires as an opportunity for personal growth.
The song quickly moves on to the singer's ambitious desires, as she asks for a yacht and ownership of a platinum mine. It becomes evident that her requests are becoming more humorous and exaggerated. Nevertheless, she playfully reminds Santa that she has been an angel all year, appealing for his assistance in making these dreams come true.
In the final verse, she asks Santa to fill her stocking with money, specifically mentioning a duplex and checks. The mention of signing "X" on the line implies that she wants Santa to provide financial security for her. She also suggests decorating her Christmas tree with expensive ornaments from Tiffany's, reinforcing her desire for opulence.
The song concludes in a cheeky manner, with the singer explicitly expressing her love for Santa. She playfully asks him to remember to bring one more thing – a ring – clarifying that she does not mean a phone call, but rather a symbol of commitment and love.
Overall, "Santa Baby" is a lighthearted and seductive plea to Santa Claus. The lyrics combine elements of humor, desire, and romance, showcasing the singer's playful personality and materialistic desires during the holiday season.

She's the best because she doesn't over-sing it. Most singers just squirm around and strain to sound seductive. She doesn't have to try. Her voice is like velvet.
