Santa Baby
Victoria Silvstedt & Ralph Garman 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, an out-of-space convertible too, light blue
I'll wait up for you dear
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight
Think of all the fellas that I haven't kissed
Next year I could be oh so good
If you'd check off my Christmas list
Boo doo bee doo
Santa honey, I wanna yacht and really that's
Not a lot
I've been an angel all year
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight
Santa cutie, there's one thing I really do need, the deed
To a platinum mine
Santa cutie, and hurry down the chimney tonight
Santa baby, I'm filling 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
Boo doo bee doo
Santa baby, forgot to mention one little thing, a ring
I don't mean a phone
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight
Hurry down the chimney tonight
Hurry down the chimney tonight
The lyrics to Victoria Silvstedt & Ralph Garman's song "Santa Baby" are full of flirty requests and playful demands of Santa Claus. In the first stanza, the persona is asking Santa to leave her a sable fur coat, which is a luxury item that only the elite could afford. She convincingly appeals to Santa's sense of justice, stating that she has been an "awful good girl" and therefore deserves to be rewarded.
The second stanza takes things up a notch, as the singer requests a "out-of-space convertible" in light blue. She promises to wait up for Santa, suggesting that she is willing to indulge in a bit of romantic dalliance, and playfully asks him to hurry down her chimney.
The third stanza is the most suggestive of all, as the persona suggests that she has been too good for too long and wants to make up for lost time. She mentions all the "fellas that I haven't kissed" and in a double entendre, suggests that if Santa checks off her "Christmas list" she could be "oh so good" next year.
The rest of the song follows the same vein, with the persona requesting increasingly extravagant gifts, such as a yacht, a platinum mine, a duplex, and a ring. She plays coy, but is clear about what she wants, and ends the song with a plea for Santa to hurry down the chimney.
Overall, "Santa Baby" is a flirty and fun song that plays with the idea of Santa Claus as a gift-giving sugar daddy. It is a classic Christmas tune that has been covered by many artists over the years, and its catchy melody and provocative lyrics continue to captivate audiences.
Line by Line Meaning
Santa baby, slip a sable under the tree, for me
I, Victoria, have been a good girl this year and I am asking you, Santa, to please bring me a luxurious sable fur for Christmas.
Santa baby, an out-of-space convertible too, light blue
Along with the sable, I would also like a light blue convertible spaceship because again, I have been a good girl this year, Santa.
Think of all the fun I've missed
Santa, I am reminding you of all the missed opportunities and experiences I might have if I don't get what I want for Christmas.
Think of all the fellas that I haven't kissed
In case you forgot, Santa, this year I have been withholding my love from some potential boyfriends and could really use a little help in locking down a good catch.
Next year I could be oh so good
If I get everything on this list this year, I might be able to give you a bit of a break next year, Santa. No promises, though.
If you'd check off my Christmas list
The implication here is that if Santa fulfills all of her requests, Victoria will definitely be a better person from now on.
Santa honey, I wanna yacht and really that's
I am not asking for much, just a yacht that I can use for leisurely activities.
Not a lot
Victoria is adamant about the fact that in Santa's grand scheme of gift-giving, a yacht is really not hard to come by.
Santa cutie, there's one thing I really do need, the deed
What she really needs is ownership of a platinum mine, Santa, and she hopes you can deliver.
Santa baby, I'm filling my stocking with a duplex, and checks
Aside from a yacht and a spaceship, Victoria has also requested a duplex and checks from Santa. She wants Santa to sign the checks, of course.
Sign your 'X' on the line
In case it wasn't clear before, Victoria very much wants Santa's signature on those checks.
Come and trim my Christmas tree
Victoria is inviting Santa over to her place for a romantic evening of tree-trimming with decorations from Tiffany's.
I really do believe in you
Victoria has faith that Santa can deliver on her requests and bring her everything that she desires this Christmas.
Let's see if you believe in me
While Victoria trusts in Santa to bring her everything she's asking for, she also acknowledges that she needs to prove to Santa that she deserves it all.
Santa baby, forgot to mention one little thing, a ring
Oh, one more thing, Santa. Victoria is hoping that this year she'll be getting an engagement ring.
I don't mean a phone
This last request is very important to Victoria and so she doesn't want there to be any confusion - she's not asking for a phone, she's asking for a ring.

She's the best because she doesn't over-sing it. Most singers just squirm around and strain to sound seductive. She doesn't have to try. Her voice is like velvet.
