[English]

Santa Baby

Slip a sable under a tree, for me (mmmhmm)

I've 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

And hurry down the chimney tonight

...

Think of all the fun I've missed

Think of all the fellas that I haven't kissed (mwah)

Next year, I could be just as good

If you'll check off my Christmas list

Santa Baby

I want a yacht and really that's not, a lie

I've been an angel all year

Santa Baby

And hurry down the chimney tonight

(Mmm yeah)

Santa Honey

The one thing that I really do need, the deed

To a platinum mine

Santa Honey

So 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

And I don't mean on the phone

Santa Baby

And hurry down the chimney tonight

So hurry down the chimney tonight

(Waiting!)

Hurry, tonight

Hurry down the chimney tonight

...
