Santa Baby
Saturday, December 20, 2008
As a child, my all-time favourite Christmas song was All I Want For Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth - go figure!
Twenty odd years later, older but I'm not sure much wiser, the Christmas song that gets me going is the tongue-in-cheek Santa Baby. But not the Madonna or Kylie version, you understand. Not even Marilyn Monroe's, whom alot of people think is the original singer, a fact which irks me. The definitive version to me is by the original singer Eartha Kitt. Her rendition is that of a sexy, sophisticated lady who loves and knows she deserves the finer things in life. Other singers who have borrowed her song just come off sounding like gold digging bimbos, most notably Madonna and Marilyn Monroe. But that's just me. And forgive the slight edginess in my tone. It's the fractured molar, sore throat and fever speaking.
Santa Baby
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'll check off my Christmas list
Santa Baby, I want a yacht and really thats not
Alot
Been an angel all year
Santa Baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight
Santa honey, one little 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 cheques
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 Tif-fa-ny
I really do believe in you
Lets 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
