Santa Baby
Mae West Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just slip a sable
Under the tree for me
I've been
An awful good girl
Santa baby
So hurry down
The chimney tonight
Santa baby
A 54 convertible too
Lights 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
Tat I haven't kissed
Next year
I could be
Just as good
If you 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
I really need
The deed
To a platinum mine
Santa baby
So hurry down
The chimney tonight
Santa cutey
Fill my stocking
With a Duplex
And cheques
Sing your X
On the line
Santa cutey
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
In "Santa Baby," Mae West is speaking directly to Santa Claus, requesting that he bring her various luxury items as Christmas gifts. She starts off by asking for a sable under the tree and a 54 convertible in blue. She reminds Santa that she has been a good girl and that he should hurry down the chimney to deliver her presents. She then goes on to list all the fun she's missed out on and mentions that she could be just as good next year if Santa checks her Christmas list. She asks for a yacht and the deed to a platinum mine, making it clear that she has been an angel all year. She then asks Santa to fill her stocking with a duplex and some checks, and to sign his X on the line. She continues by inviting Santa to trim her Christmas tree with decorations from Tiffany's, telling him that she believes in him and asking if he believes in her. Finally, she asks for a ring (not on a phone) and reminds Santa to hurry down the chimney tonight.
The song is a fun and flirty take on the traditional Christmas list. Mae West uses her sultry voice and playful lyrics to express her desire for extravagant gifts from Santa Claus. However, the song also has an underlying message about the value of material possessions and the lengths people will go to in order to acquire them. Mae West's character is willing to be "an angel" all year in exchange for these gifts, highlighting the consumerism and materialism that can cloud the holiday season.
