Santa Baby
La Zarra 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
I'll wait up for you dear
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 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 the phone
Santa baby
So hurry down the chimney tonight




Hurry down the chimney tonight
Hurry, tonight

Overall Meaning

In La Zarra's classic, "Santa Baby," the singer adopts the persona of a Christmas seductress, beseeching Santa Claus to leave a variety of expensive gifts beneath her tree. From a real sable to a convertible to a yacht to even the deed to a platinum mine, the singer wishes for everything her heart desires. However, despite her materialistic desires, she still manages to maintain an aura of innocence and flirtation, signified by the affectionate nicknames (Santa honey, Santa baby, Santa cutie). The song can be interpreted in different ways. Some believe the song is an ironic take on the commercialism that surrounds Christmas. Others view it as an early feminist anthem, as the traditional "good girl" stereotype is being bent to achieve power and financial independence.
