Santa Baby
Taylor Swift 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 fun I've missed
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" by Taylor Swift is a playful and flirtatious Christmas song that describes a woman's wish list for Santa Claus. The song's narrative is as follows: the woman asks Santa to bring her a sable under the tree as a gift after being a "good girl." She also requests a 1954 light blue convertible and promises to wait up for him. She goes on to say that she hasn't had much fun throughout the year with men and that next year she will be better. She then asks for a yacht and, more excitingly, for the deed to a platinum mine to build a real fortune. She also wants Santa to come decorate her tree with Tiffany's decorations. Finally, she mentions that she forgot to mention that she would like a ring from Santa.
The song's overall tone is cheeky and playful, and its lyrics offer a humorous take on traditional Christmas music. The song is essentially a love letter to Santa, but instead of being directed towards a partner or lover, it's directed towards the holiday season's next best thing - Santa Claus. The song also reflects the era it was written; the mention of buying decorations from Tiffany's gives us a glimpse into the expected lifestyle of high-status individuals at the time. It is an interesting observation of what constituted luxury, both in terms of material goods such as a yacht, as well as experiences.

@olivia-sv3wq
for some reason this is the version they always play at the supermarkets (no complaints, it's just funny)
@pumpkincake6477
Probably 'cause it sounds pure, while the original is way sexier.. so they thought this version is family friendly
