Baby Baby
The Simon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Baboom baboom baboom baboom baboom baboom
Baboom baboom baboom baboom baboom baboom

Santa baby, just slip a sable under the tree for me
Been an awful good girl
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight

Santa baby, a '54 convertible too convertible too, light blue
I'll wait up for you, dear
Santa baby, so 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 just as good
If you'll 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 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 a 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
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, and hurry down the chimney tonight




Hurry down the chimney tonight
Hurry, tonight

Overall Meaning

The Simon's song Baby Baby is a playful and flirtatious Christmas tune that is sung from the perspective of a woman who is addressing Santa Claus. The lyrics are a request list for what she wants from Santa for Christmas, with playful lines like "Santa baby, just slip a sable under the tree for me." The song is full of luxurious and extravagant requests, from a '54 convertible to a platinum mine, and even a request for a diamond ring towards the end of the song.


The lyrics also contain a sense of nostalgia and yearning for past experiences that the singer has missed out on, saying, "Think of all the fun I've missed. Think of all the fellas that I haven't kissed." The song is filled with flattery to Santa and playfully teasing love language, like when the singer calls Santa 'honey' and 'cutie' and ends the song with "Let's see if you believe in me."

Lyrics:
My daddy was the family bassman
My mamma was an engineer
And I was born one dark gray morn
With music coming in my ears
In my ears

They call me Baby Driver
And once upon a pair of wheels
I hit the road and I'm gone
What's my number?
I wonder how your engines feel
(Ba ba ba ba)
Scoot down the road
What's my number?
I wonder how your engines feel
Shine the light

My daddy was a prominent frogman
My mama's in the Naval reserve
When I was young I carried a gun
But I never got the chance to serve
I did not serve

They call me Baby Driver
And once upon a pair of wheels
I hit the road and I'm gone
What's my number?
I wonder how your engines feel
(Ba ba ba ba)
Scoot down the road
What's my number?
I wonder how your engines feel

My daddy got a big promotion
My mamma got a raise in pay
There's no-one home, we're all alone
Oh, come into my room and play
Yes, we can play

I'm not talking about your pigtails
But I'm talking 'bout your sex appeal
I hit the road and I'm gone
What's my number?
I wonder how your engines feel
(Ba ba ba ba)
Scoot down the road
What's my number?
I wonder how your engines feel
