    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.
