Lyrics
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, 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'd check out 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, one thing that I really need, the deed
To a platinum mine
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight
Santa cutie, 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'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
I don't mean on the phone,
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight,
Hurry down the chimney tonight
Hurry, tonight
