Santa Baby
Marilyn Monroe · Other Songs - Marilyn Monroe
Santa baby, just slip a sable under the tree, for me
Been an awful good girl
Santa baby,and 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 fellows that I haven't kissed
Next year I could be just so good
If you check off my christmas list
Santa baby, I want a yacht and really thats not a lot
Been an angel all year
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight
Santa honey, one little thing I really do need, the deed
To a platinum mine,
Santa cutie, and hurry down the chimney tonight
Santa cutie, and 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 chirstmas 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,and hurry down the chimney tonight
Hurry down the chimney tonight
Hurry, down......tonight
Santa Baby - Marilyn Monroe
Marilyn Monroe's 1953 recording of 'Santa Baby' stands as a quintessential example of her unique vocal style, blending pop sensibilities with a distinctive, breathy delivery that became her signature. Released during the height of her Hollywood fame, the song was written by Johnny Burke and Bob Merrill for the film 'The Seven Year Itch,' though Monroe's version transcended its cinematic origins to become a cultural icon. The track exemplifies the smooth, sultry pop sound of the early 1950s, characterized by its gentle rhythm and Monroe's effortless charm. While often associated with holiday music, the song's enduring appeal lies in its fusion of festive themes with Monroe's personal brand of glamour and vulnerability, cementing her status as a global superstar who redefined the female lead in rock and roll and pop music.
