00:00 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 to light blue
I’ll wait up for you, dear (boo-boom, boo-boom, boo-boom)
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight (boo-boom, boo-boom)
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
(Boo-boom, boo-boom)
Santa baby, I wanna yacht (boo-boom, boo-boom)
And really that’s not a lot (boo-boom, boo-boom)
Been an angel all year (boo-boom, boo-boom)
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight (boo-boom, boo-boom)
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 checks
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 Tiffany’s
I really do believe in you
Let’s see if you believe in me
(Boo-boom, boo-boom, boo-boom)
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

02:58 BACK DOOR SANTA
They call me Back Door Santa
I make my runs about the break of day
They call me Back Door Santa
I make my runs about the break of day (oh, ho-ho)
I make all the little girls happy
While the boys are out to play (lookie here)
I ain’t like old Saint Nick
He don’t come but once a year (oh, ho-ho)
I ain’t like old Saint Nick
He don’t come but once a year (but lookie here)
I come running with my presents
Every time you call me, dear (lookie here)
I keep some change in my pocket
‘Case the children are at home
I give them a few pennies, so that we can be alone
I leave the back door open, so if anybody smells a mouse
And wouldn’t old Santa be in trouble
If there ain’t no chimney in the house
They call me Back Door Santa
I make my runs about the break of day (lookie here)
I make all the little girls happy
While the boys go out to play
That’s what they call me, Back Door Santa
That’s what they call me
They call me Back Door Santa
That’s what all the girls call me
I give ’em all the presents
That’s what they call me
They call me Back Door Santa
And I like when they call me that
They call me Back Door Santa
And I like it, I like it, I like it, I like it, Back Door Santa…
