Nashville Cast (Holiday) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 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
The song Santa Baby is a classic Christmas tune about a woman asking Santa Claus for extravagant gifts. The lyrics depict a woman, who is seemingly wealthy and wants Santa to bring her a sable, a 54 convertible, a yacht, the deed to a platinum mine and even a ring. She also reminds Santa that she has been good all year and refrained from kissing any boys.
The first verse of the song begins with the woman requesting a sable to be placed under the Christmas tree as a gift. Sable is known to be an expensive marten fur, and as such, it can be deduced that the woman comes from a wealthy background. She goes ahead to remind Santa Claus that she has been good all year and without any hiccups. The second verse picks up from the first, and the woman then asks for a 1954 convertible light blue car. She further insists that she will wait up for Santa to arrive.
Later on, in the song, the woman decides to remind Santa some more of her good deeds all year. She asks Santa to give her the deed to a platinum mine too, in addition to the previous two requests. The next verse shows the woman inviting Santa to come and decorate her Christmas tree with some decorations she had bought from Tiffany's - an upscale luxury store. The woman then mentions that she believes in Santa Claus and requests a ring as her final gift, making sure to clarify that it is not the phone.
