A Holiday Song for Moms

December 19, 2011 By Kim Bongiorno at LetMeStartBySaying 63 Comments

I find the original Santa, Baby song to be totally…icky.  It is creepy and dirty and the women who sing it tend to be purring like a cat in heat or breathier than a phone sex operator.

Gross.

These days, it is EVERYWHERE.  No matter how hard I try, I can neither avoid it nor keep it from getting stuck in my head.

So?  I’m changing the lyrics to something…more my style.

Enjoy!

SANTA BABY: THE MOM VERSION

Santa Baby,
Slip some patience under the tree
For me.
I’ve been a Mommy all year.
Santa Baby, please hurry down the chimney tonight.

Santa baby,
I’d like to be alone in the loo
To poo.
If it’s not too much to ask.
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight.

Think of all
The butts I’ve wiped.
Think of all my youth & beauty
That they’ve swiped.
Next year I could be just as sweet
If I had nice nails and well-rubbed feet. 

Santa Baby,
I want a nap and for my kid to
Shut her yap.
She talks my ear off all year.
Santa Baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight.

Santa honey,
There’s something that I really do crave:
A Mom Cave.
With a soundproofed locked door.
Santa Baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight.

Santa cutie,
Fill my stocking with boobs that don’t sag,
Or drag.
I’d like them up where they were.
Santa cutie, so hurry down the chimney tonight.

Come and trim my Christmas tree
With a bit of free time and some…sanity.
I swear I do believe in you
Lets see if you believe in me. 

Santa Baby,
Forgot to mention one little thing:
Some bling.
All Moms deserve to sparkle.
Santa Baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight.

Hurry down the chimney tonight

Hurry…tonight

    OK. As someone to loves to rhyme herself, I love this. Love. And I’m not even a mom to anything other than a fake tree and a headless snowman.
    I also don’t enjoy the original version of this song at all for the reasons you mentioned, mostly because it gets stuck in my OCD head, which is not a great place to be. Last night I heard a Michael Buble (sp?) version and the words were all wonky. I still didn’t enjoy it. This one? It rocks.

      I so kick Michael Buble’s ASS.
      (I can’t tell you how long I’ve been waiting to say that)

        Definitely, your version rocks! I didn’t really like Michael Buble’s version either.

    excellent!

    alone in the loo to poo? yeah, that.

    This should be a Christmas standard for eons. I LOL maybe, 4 or 5 times a year. You enabled one of those. That’s a Christmas miracle.

    That was AWESOME!!!!! On another note, the most popular version of Santa Baby was recorded by Eartha Kitt, who was the original Cat Woman, so that might explain all the purring… : )

LOL I’m sharing this with all my mommy friends! One thing though…I personally don’t need any bling…maybe some tylenol…ibruprofen…codine perhaps?
