Santa Baby
Henri Rene & His Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Santa Baby, just slip a sable under the tree
For me
Been an awful good girl
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight
Santa baby, a '54 convertible too
Light blue
Santa baby, so 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 just 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
Santa honey, one little thing I really need the deed
To a platinum mine
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight
Santa cutie, and fill my stocking with a duplex
And checks
Sign your 'x' on the line
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight
Come and trim my Christmas tree
With some decorations bought at Tif-fa-ny
I really do believe in you
Lets 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
Hurry, tonight
The lyrics to Henri Rene & His Orchestra's song Santa Baby are a playful and flirtatious request to Santa Claus for extravagant gifts on Christmas. The singer, who identifies herself as an "awful good girl," asks for a sable fur coat, a 1954 convertible (in light blue), a yacht, the deed to a platinum mine, a duplex, and a ring (not just any ring, but a "ring," implying an engagement ring). She also mentions that she has "been an angel all year," indicating she feels deserving of these luxuries. Alongside these material desires, the singer also expresses longing for missed opportunities and potential future ones, asking Santa to "Think of all the fun [she's] missed" and to help her find love ("Think of all the fellas that I haven't kissed").
