Santa Baby
Clare Bowen 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, a '52 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 twice as good
If you check off my Christmas list

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

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

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

Come and trim my Christmas tree
With some decorations bought at Tiffany's
I really do believe in you
So 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
So hurry down the chimney tonight

Hurry down the chimney tonight
Oh hurry Santa baby tonight

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song “Santa Baby” by Clare Bowen express the desires of a woman who is asking Santa Claus to bring her various lavish gifts for Christmas. She starts the song by asking for a sable, a fur coat, to be placed under the Christmas tree. She then goes on to ask for a 1952 convertible and a yacht. She also asks for the deed for a platinum mine and a duplex filled with cash and checks. The woman appears to be confident that she has been good this year and deserves these gifts. She makes sure to let Santa know that she's waiting up for him and that he should hurry down the chimney.

The song then shifts to describe her past actions, indicating unfulfilled desires and missed opportunities. She admits to missing out on some fun and the chance to kiss some fellas. However, she is determined to make up for it next year by being even better. She then requests that Santa come and decorate her Christmas tree with decorations from Tiffany's. The song ends with her asking for one final gift, a ring - not a phone call.
