Santa Baby
Santa's Wishlist: Alicia Keys' Seductive Plea for Yuletide Desires
Lyrics
Hello, Santa
Greeting Santa
Is this really you?
Confirming Santa's identity
Uh, well I know that you're not supposed to do this
Acknowledging social norms but expressing a desire to share a list
But I do have a little list
Having a wishlist
And I've been such a good girl
Claiming to be well-behaved and deserving
I know I deserve it
Asserting deservingness
You wanna hear it?
Offering to share the wishlist
Santa baby, just slip a Sable under the tree for me
Request for a Sable (fur) under the tree
Been an awful good girl
Reiteration of being good
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight
Urging Santa to come down the chimney
Santa baby, just a simple project, one for fun
Request for a simple, fun project
I'll wait up for you, dear
Waiting for Santa
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight
Repetition of urging Santa's prompt arrival
Think of all the fun I've missed
Reflecting on missed fun and kisses
Think of all the fella's that I haven't kissed
Highlighting romantic encounters not experienced
Next year I could be just as good
Expressing intent to be good next year
If you check off my Christmas list
Linking goodness to fulfillment of Christmas list
Santa baby, I want a yacht and really that's not a lot
Desire for a yacht, claiming angelic behavior
Been an angel all year
Reiterating goodness
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight, mm
Repetition of urging Santa's prompt arrival
Santa cutie, and fill my stocking with the duplex and checks
Addressing Santa as "cutie," asking for valuable gifts
Sign your 'X' on the line
Instructing Santa to sign checks
Santa cutie, and hurry down the chimney tonight, ooh
Repetition of urging Santa's prompt arrival
Won't you come and come and come
Inviting Santa to decorate the Christmas tree
Come and trim my Christmas tree
Expressing a desire for trimmings
With some decorations bought at Tiffanys
Mentioning decorations from Tiffany's
I really do believe in you
Professing belief in Santa
Let's see if you believe in me
Challenging Santa's belief in the speaker
Santa baby, forgot to mention one little thing
Remembering to ask for a ring
A ring
Specifically asking for a ring
I don't mean on the phone
Clarifying not on the phone
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight
Repetition of urging Santa's prompt arrival
Hurry down the chimney tonight
Final repetition of urging Santa's prompt arrival
Santa, baby, won't you hurry, come and see me
Further request for Santa to visit
Hurry down the chimney tonight
Repetition of urging Santa's prompt arrival
Hurry down the chimney tonight
Final repetition of urging Santa's prompt arrival
