Samantha Jade Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've been an awful good girl
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight
Santa baby, a '54 convertible too, light blue
Oh, 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 so good
If you check off my Christmas list
Oh 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
Yeah, yeah
Santa honey, one thing that I really do need
The deed, to a platinum mine, Santa baby
So hurry down the chimney tonight
Santa cutie, and fill my stocking with a duplex and checks
Just 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
So let's see if you believe in me
Santa baby, forgot to mention one little thing, a ring
No, I don't mean on the phone
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight
So hurry down the chimney tonight
Oh hurry, tonight
In Samantha Jade's song "Santa Baby," the lyrics depict a woman's wish list to Santa Claus for extravagant gifts. The woman asks Santa to "slip a Sable" under the tree, referring to a luxurious fur coat. She also asks for a 1954 convertible in light blue, a yacht, the deed to a platinum mine, and even a ring. The song is a playful and flirtatious take on a Christmas wishlist, with the woman reminding Santa that she has been an "awful good girl."
The lyrics suggest that the woman is willing to use her charm and seduction to persuade Santa to fulfill her wishes. She mentions her missed opportunities with men in the past, implying that she is looking for a relationship or at least some romantic attention. However, despite her demands for expensive gifts, the woman claims to have been an angel all year, suggesting that she deserves to be indulged.
Overall, "Santa Baby" is a lighthearted and fun holiday song, with catchy and memorable lyrics that playfully capture the spirit of Christmas gift-giving and the desire for extravagance.
