Holly Dolly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Been an awful good girl, Santa baby,
And hurry down the chimney tonight.
Santa honey, a 54 convertible too, light blue.
I'll wait up for you dear, Santa baby,
And hurry down the chimney tonight.
Think of all the fellas that I haven't kissed,
Next year I could be ah so good,
If you'll check off my Christmas list,
Santa honey, I wanna yacht, and really that's not a lot,
Been an angel all year, Santa baby,
And hurry down the chimney tonight.
Santa cutie, there's one little thing I do need, the deed
To a platinum mine, Santa cutie,
And hurry down the chimney tonight.
Santa Baby, and fill my stocking with a duplex, and checks.
Sign your 'X' on the line, Santa Baby,
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,
Let's see if you believe in me,
Santa honey, forgot to mention one little thing, a ring.
I don't mean on the phone, Santa honey,
So hurry down the chimney tonight
Hurry down the chimney tonight,
Hurry down the chimney tonight
The song "Santa Baby" by Holly Dolly is a flirty and seductive Christmas tune directed at Santa Claus. The lyrics tell the story of a woman who has been good all year and now wants Santa to bring her a variety of luxurious gifts. She starts the song by asking Santa to leave a sable under the tree for her, and then progresses to asking for a 54 convertible, a yacht, a platinum mine, and even a ring. She promises that she will continue to be good in the coming year and even suggests that Santa should "check off [her] Christmas list."
The song is, at its core, a humorous take on the classic Christmas tune. The woman's requests are over-the-top and exaggerated, poking fun at the commercialization of Christmas. The song's flirty and seductive tone adds to its humor, as it suggests that even Santa Claus is not immune to the allure of beautiful women. Overall, "Santa Baby" is a fun and playful song that brings a bit of sexy holiday cheer to listeners.
