Santa baby, slip a sable under the tree for me Been an awful good girl Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight Santa baby, an auto space convertible too, light blue I'll wait up for you, dear Santa baby, and 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 also good If you'll check off my Christmas list Santa honey, I want a yacht and really that's not a lot 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, and fill 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 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
