Santa Baby
Gwen Stefani Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Been an awful good girl
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight
Santa baby, a 54 convertible too, light blue
I'll wait up for you, dear
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight
Think of all the fellas that I haven't kissed
Next year I could be as good
If you'll check off my Christmas list
Santa baby, I want a yacht and really that's not a lot
Been an angel all year
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight
Won't you hurry Santa baby
Santa honey, one little thing I really need, the deed
To a platinum mine
Santa baby, so 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 cutie, hurry down the chimney tonight
Won't you please, please, hurry Santa baby?
Hurry down the chimney tonight
In Gwen Stefani's song Santa Baby, the female protagonist is speaking to Santa Claus and is requesting different luxurious items for Christmas. The song follows a traditional Christmas song outline with requests such as a sable, a convertible, a yacht, and a platinum mine. She even requests Santa bring her a ring in present tense, but it's unclear what type of ring she's referring to. The song ends with her pleading with Santa to hurry down the chimney tonight.
The song's underlying theme of materialism is evident. The singer wants to fulfill her dreams of having all these extravagances despite not having them prior to Christmas. It's a theme that's seen in many Christmas songs where the characters believe Santa can grant their wishes. The singer also acknowledges her past behavior by saying she's been an angel all year and is asking for these things despite not being perfect.
