Santa Baby
Good Lovelies Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've been an awful good girl, santa baby
So hurry down the chimney tonight
Santa baby, a '54 convertible, too, light blue
Well I'll wait up for you, dear, santa baby
So hurry down the chimney tonight, yeah
Think of all the boys I haven't kissed
Next year I could be just 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 more thing I really do need, the deed
To a platinum mine, santa honey
So 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
Santa baby, forgot to mention one little thing
A ring
And I don't mean on the phone, santa baby
So hurry down the chimney tonight
The lyrics to Good Lovelies's song Santa Baby are a playful and flirtatious plea to Santa Claus for lavish gifts. The song starts with the request for a sable coat to go under the Christmas tree, emphasizing the singer's good behavior throughout the year. The second verse requests a '54 convertible in light blue, and the singer promises to wait up for Santa to arrive down the chimney. The third verse reflects on missed opportunities and promises to be good in the coming year if Santa grants her wishes. The fourth verse asks for a yacht and the deed to a platinum mine and ends with an invitation to Santa to come decorate her Christmas tree. Finally, the singer asks for one more gift - a ring - and invites Santa to come down the chimney tonight.
