Santa Baby
Kylie Minogue 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 just as good
If you'd check out 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, one little thing that I really need, the deed
To a platinum mine
Santa baby, 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
Let's see if you believe in me
Santa baby, forgot to mention one little thing, a ring
I don't mean on a phone
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney, tonight
Hurry down the chimney, tonight
Hurry, tonight
The lyrics to Kylie Minogue's "Santa Baby" are a playful and sultry take on the traditional Christmas song. The singer is addressing Santa Claus as her lover, asking him to bring her expensive and luxurious gifts, such as a sable, a 1954 convertible, a yacht, the deed to a plex, and a ring. She flirts with Santa and assures him that she has been good this year, but she also reminds him of all the pleasures she has missed out on in the past. The song is a perfect example of the commercialization of Christmas, with its emphasis on material possessions and sexual desire.

I found this song so stupid when I heard it from Madonna, at least Kylie’s version makes a clean slate of the song, but I still preferred she should performed her voice on other better songs
