Santa Baby, I know you’re busy
tonight of all nights
I have to tell you, I’ve been bad,
but really I’m all right
I ate all your cookies but I’ll serve wine
if you come here tonight
Don’t you know, I don’t need toys
to find some delight
Santa Baby, just bring yourself
I’m naughty but it’s all right.
