Santa Baby
Reality 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,
And hurry down the chimney tonight.

Santa honey, a 54 convertible too, light blue.
I'll wait up for you dear, Santa baby,
And 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 ah so good,
If you'll check off my Christmas list,

Santa honey, I wanna yacht, and really that's not a lot,
Been an angel all year, Santa baby,
And hurry down the chimney tonight.

Santa cutie, there's one little thing I do need, the deed
To a platinum mine, Santa cutie,
And hurry down the chimney tonight.

Santa Baby, and fill my stocking with a duplex, and checks.
Sign your 'X' on the line, Santa Baby,
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 honey, forgot to mention one little thing, a ring.
I don't mean on the phone, Santa honey,
So hurry down the chimney tonight




Hurry down the chimney tonight,
Hurry down the chimney tonight

Overall Meaning

The song "Santa Baby" is a classic Christmas tune that was written in 1953 by Joan Javits and Philip Springer. The song is sung by a woman who is addressing Santa Claus and asking for various lavish gifts. The song is flirty in nature and is intended to be playful and lighthearted.


In the first stanza, she asks Santa to slip a sable fur coat under her tree. She then reminds him that she has been good all year and asks him to hurry down the chimney. In the second stanza, she asks for a convertible car and says that she will wait up for him. In the third stanza, she references the fact that she has missed out on some fun and asks Santa to bring her a bunch of presents so she can be good next year. She then asks for a yacht and a platinum mine in the next stanzas. In the final stanzas, she asks for Santa to sign a check and buy her a duplex apartment, and to come and trim her Christmas tree with decorations from Tiffany's. She ends the song by reminding Santa that she forgot to mention one more thing: a ring.


The song is a fun representation of the materialistic aspect of Christmas and is often parodied, with many different versions having been recorded over the years. Despite its flirtatious nature, the song has remained a classic and is a holiday favorite for many.
