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

Thanks, Kriss! And I appreciate that you’ve already shared it. 🙂
Abby says
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.
Let Me Start By Saying says
I so kick Michael Buble’s ASS.
(I can’t tell you how long I’ve been waiting to say that)
"M" is for Marriage and Motherhood... And for Me says
Definitely, your version rocks! I didn’t really like Michael Buble’s version either.
Let Me Start By Saying says
So funny!
Allison at Motherhood, WTF? says
Perfection.
Let Me Start By Saying says
Thanks!
Lance says
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.
Let Me Start By Saying says
Thanks, Lance!
DiannaMoon says
OMG – I think I need to print these out and go caroling!
Let Me Start By Saying says
Oh, that would be awesome to witness. Lol!
Lisha says
I would so find someone to record this.
Let Me Start By Saying says
Hmmm…I do have some singer friends…
Vinobaby says
Perfect! I shall start memorizing the words now. Wonder who I can scandalize? Cheers, Mama!
Let Me Start By Saying says
Fantastic! And thanks for sharing this on the Twitter. 🙂
"M" is for Marriage and Motherhood... And for Me says
Wow, very nice!
Let Me Start By Saying says
Thank you!
nailingjellotoatree says
OMG! Way to go! Laughed through out the entire song and prayed to Santa to bring me a few, or all, of those things.
Let Me Start By Saying says
May he deliver them all to us both. Especially the Mom Cave.
Jen says
Agreed with all of the above! Your blog is hilarious and the song is awesome! I shared it with my mommy friends.
Let Me Start By Saying says
Thanks for sending it around, I really appreciate that!
Anonymous says
Pure mommy genius.
Let Me Start By Saying says
Why, thank you.
babybloggee says
lovin it!!!!
Let Me Start By Saying says
Glad to hear it!
Susan says
That about covers it! Just fabulous!!
Let Me Start By Saying says
Thanks! And really, thank you for posting this on your FB wall. The response has been incredible!
Heidi says
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… : )
Let Me Start By Saying says
Ah, yes. Valid point. But still? Eeewwwww…
rachiesmom2004 says
I HATE, LOATHE and DETEST the Santa Baby song…however what you’ve done here is pure perfection…especially what I’ve had to deal with today, the first “official” day of Christmas break! 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?
Let Me Start By Saying says
Hmm…no bling…how about brownies? babysitter? Thanks for sharing this with your friends!
Lauren (@MommyBreakdown) says
I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wish I wasn’t too tired to memorize. I still here the nasty version in stores.
Let Me Start By Saying says
You could always print out my lyrics and do spontaneous caroling when it comes on…might help?
Alicia says
I almost woke the baby up laughing! Love it!
Let Me Start By Saying says
Sorry to wake a baby, but glad you enjoyed it!
Phoenix Rising says
LOVE THIS!!!! Can I use this in next year’s holiday show? Because we have the same (older) lady purring the original lyrics every year and it’s so …. icky.
Let Me Start By Saying says
As long as I get my royalties in red wine? Be my guest. That would be a HOOT.
Debbie says
As I sit here in my oversized comfy pj pants and ugly jersey sweater, hair a mess and my reading glasses perched oh so attractively on the end of my nose I SHOUT AMEN SISTER!! Now get on the phone and get Pat Benetar to record this in the style of “Hell is for Children”. Puh-LEEZ!
Let Me Start By Saying says
That is the best idea, evah!
wendy says
I don’t know the real song but THIS IS A CLASSIC!
Let Me Start By Saying says
You do NOT want to know the real version. Just memorize mine. 😉
A. E. says
I utterly detest Santa Baby. Love your version!
Let Me Start By Saying says
Thanks! Glad I’m not the only one.
The Bearded Iris says
You had me at poo. Frickin’ brilliant! I hate that original song too. Super icky.
Let Me Start By Saying says
I always knew it takes poo talk to win you over.
Erin says
Lmfao! I LOVE it!!!! It’s fabulous women like you who bring so much NEEDED humor to the most important job in the world. SAHM
Let Me Start By Saying says
Aw, thanks, Erin.
Maureen says
Absolutely awesome. :o) Only, instead of a mom cave, I’m getting a mom loft. Seriously. No soundproofing, but it’s mine and reachable only by a steep ladder.
Let Me Start By Saying says
Girl, you know how to shoot for the stars. Let’s be friends.
Suburban Snapshots says
You know Nikki would have videotaped herself singing this for you. I smell a collaboration!
Let Me Start By Saying says
And this is when I call Nikki…
Suburban Snapshots says
Related: what’s the new word to replace “videotaped?” Because I sound like my father-in-law. Now pass me the clicker.
Let Me Start By Saying says
I’m too busy ironing my dungarees to do any research on that right now. Now get off my lawn.
Naptimewriting says
LOVE this post.
“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.”
Seriously, Kim. Seriously.
Let Me Start By Saying says
Glad you like it! May Santa bring you some sanity as well this year. I think we could all use a little extra. 🙂
JD says
Omg I’m glad you referenced this in you Christmas pumpkin post because somehow I totally missed it! Hysterical!!!!
Let Me Start By Saying says
I promise to sing it to you next time we get together. 😉
Robin Jingjit says
In the loo alone to poo is my favorite bit of all!!! Hilarious! Too bad it’s only a Christmas dream….
Amy says
I didn’t even know I wanted anything for Christmas, and now I want all of those things. But, more than anything, I want the opportunity to rhyme loo and poo in conversation today. So awesome!
