Santa Baby
Santa's Helpers 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 all about a love-stricken woman trying to woo and impress Santa Claus with her Christmas wish list. She starts by asking Santa for a sable to be slipped under the Christmas tree, highlighting all the good deeds she has accomplished throughout the year. The lyrics can be interpreted as a plea for affirmation that she is deserving of these gifts since she has been a good girl throughout the year. The lyrics are playful and depict this woman as almost childlike in her desires, asking for a '54 convertible in light blue and a yacht.
The lyrics then shift to the woman's regrets and the opportunities she's missed in the past year. Instead of focusing on past events and missed opportunity, she is hopeful and promises to be just as good next year if Santa delivers on her wish list. The song goes on with the woman asking for a deed to a platinum mine, and for a ring, which is not a ring on the phone, but an engagement ring.
