Michael Buble - Santa Baby Lyrics
Lyrics
Santa baby, slip a Rolex under the tree, for me.
I've been an awful good guy,
Santa buddy, and hurry down the chimney tonight.
Santa buddy, a 65 convertible too, still blue.
I'll wait up for you dude,
Santa buddy, and hurry down the chimney tonight.
Think of all the fun I've missed,
I think of all the hotties that I haven't kissed,
Next year I could be just so good,
If you'd check off my Christmas list,
Santa pally, I wanna yacht and really that's not a lot,
I've been an sweetie all year,
Santa buddy, and hurry down the chimney tonight.
Santa buddy, one thing that I really do need, the deed,
To a platinum mine,
Santa pally, so hurry down the chimney tonight.
Santa buddy, fill my stocking with connex tips, for kicks.
Through me under first line,
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight.
Come and trim my Christmas tree,
With some decorations bought at Mercedes,
I really I do believe in you,
Now let's see if you believe in me
Santa puppy, forgot to mention one little thing, cha-ching,
No I don't mean as alone.
Santa buddy, so hurry down the chimney tonight,
Hurry down the chimney tonight,
Oh hurry down the chimney tonight.

Meaning & Inspiration
Michael Bublé's 2017 rendition of "Santa Baby" offers a distinctive take on this classic, and while it doesn't lean into overtly Christian themes, its underlying message can be explored through a lens of generous giving and the spirit of blessing, concepts deeply embedded in Scripture. The song, released in late 2017, presents a playful, almost whimsical negotiation with Santa Claus, framing the holiday season as an opportunity for extravagant requests and material desires. However, beneath the surface of this indulgent wish list lies a subtle reflection on the joy of receiving and the anticipation associated with provision, echoing the human longing for good things that God Himself provides.
Considering the core of the song’s narrative, the desire for gifts and the aspiration for a life filled with comfort and luxury, we can draw parallels to biblical principles concerning generosity and the blessings of a good life. While the song is undeniably secular in its direct appeal to Santa for tangible items like a yacht and a convertible, the very act of making requests, especially in the spirit of abundance, can be seen as a reflection of our innate desire for well-being, a desire God Himself has met through His promises. As James 1:17 reminds us, "Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights." This verse underscores that true provision originates from a divine source, and while "Santa Baby" focuses on earthly acquisitions, the underlying sentiment of anticipating good gifts resonates with the faith that good things come our way. Furthermore, the song’s emphasis on a life of ease and material comfort, though self-focused in its lyrical content, can be contrasted with the biblical emphasis on sharing blessings and using resources wisely. Proverbs 11:24-25 speaks to this, stating, "One person gives freely, yet gains even more; another withholds, but comes to poverty. A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed." While Bublé's persona in the song is on the receiving end, the broader narrative of receiving gifts and enjoying them can, in a broader sense, inspire a contemplation of how we, in turn, might be generous with the blessings we receive. The song, in its festive cheer and its aspirational tone, ultimately serves as a reminder of the abundance that can characterize the holiday season and, by extension, the blessings that faith promises, encouraging a spirit of gratitude for what we have and a generous outlook towards others, mirroring the ultimate gift of love and salvation offered by God.
