Santa Baby
Nashville Cast Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Santa baby, 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, light blue
Well I'll wait up for you, dear, santa baby
So hurry down the chimney tonight, yeah
Think of all the fun I've missed
Think of all the boys I haven't kissed
Next year I could be just as good
If you check off 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, there's one more thing I really do need, the deed
To a platinum mine, santa honey
So 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




And I don't mean on the phone, santa baby
So hurry down the chimney tonight

Overall Meaning

The Nashville Cast's "Santa Baby" is a song about a girl who wishes for extravagant gifts from Santa Claus. The song begins with the girl asking for a sable, a type of fur coat, to be slipped under the tree for her. She emphasizes that she has been good all year and insists that Santa hurry down the chimney to deliver her gifts. The lyrics continue with her request for a 1954 light blue convertible, a yacht, and the deed to a platinum mine. The girl subtly reminds Santa that she believes in him and hopes that he believes in her as well.


In the second verse of the song, the girl reminisces about the boys she hasn't kissed and declares that she could be just as good next year as she has been this year. She then asks Santa to trim her Christmas tree with decorations from Tiffany's, a well-known jewelry store. In the final verse, the girl reveals that she forgot to mention something important - a ring. She clarifies that she doesn't mean a phone call ring and urges Santa to make his way down her chimney tonight.


Overall, "Santa Baby" is a playful and lighthearted take on the traditional Christmas song. It highlights the materialistic desires that often come with the holiday season and uses a seductive tone to appeal to Santa Claus himself. Despite the somewhat materialistic message, the song remains popular and is often covered by various artists during the holiday season.
