Hi - I guess this is a Parody as I've written my own lyrics. Not sure where it goes but this is good enough.

It's a bit dark, a bit naughty and a bit kind - all my best qualities  8)

I had to cut my nails for this so I hope it was worth it  :-*

It's me and the uke trying to get something recorded in between the dog barking.

Miley Cyrus did an excellent revamp recently (including the equal pay idea) but I wanted to write my own.

Santa Baby - Hilary 01/12/2023

Santa Baby – don't slip a sable under the tree for me
Pets aren't just for Christmas you see Santa Baby
So don't scurry down the chimney tonight

Santa Baby – I can buy my own presents that's clear, my dear
And I'm done picking up the surprises from your reindeer
So don't scurry down the chimney tonight

It's none of your damn business who I've kissed
Now that would be a very very very long list
Next year, could be oh so good
If there were food banks in every neighbourhood

Santa Baby – there's only one thing that I can't get you bet
That's shorter queues in the supermarkets
so don't scurry down the chimney tonight

Santa Baby – you really know what a girl wants that's true
That's equal pay for me and for you
So don't scurry down the chimney tonight

I can trim my own Christmas tree
There's a chainshaw in the shed for just such an emergency
I really do believe in you
Now let's see if you believe in me too

Santa Baby, I forgot to mention one little thing
A Ring – why don't you pick up your phone Santa Baby
And speak to someone lonely tonight
