Santa Baby
Paul & Marie Rein 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 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 the 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!
In the song "Santa Baby" by Paul & Marie Rein, the singer is addressing Santa Claus and asking him to bring her various gifts for Christmas. The first two gifts she mentions are a sable coat and a light blue convertible, both of which she promises to wait up for Santa to deliver. She then reflects on how good she has been all year in the hopes that Santa will grant her wishes. She mentions the fun she's missed and the "fellas" she hasn't kissed, hinting at a desire for romance. She then asks for bigger gifts, including a yacht and the deed to a platinum mine. She also requests duplex and checks to fill her stocking and asks Santa to sign on the line.
Additionally, she asks Santa to come and decorate her Christmas tree with decorations from Tiffany's, showing that she has expensive taste. In the final verse, she remembers one more gift she wants - a ring - and urges Santa to hurry down the chimney to deliver her presents.
"Santa Baby" was first recorded by Eartha Kitt in 1953 and has since been covered by various artists, including Madonna, Ariana Grande, and Kylie Minogue. The song has become a popular Christmas classic and is often played during the holiday season on radio stations and in shopping centers. It has been featured in films, TV shows, and commercials over the years.
