Sexy Xmas
Next Monday, if u come, we'll see Xmas in a different light... (not only the one below)
SANTA BABY.
Listen to the song and underline the presents they name:
A dress, a duplex, a plane, a husband, a yatch, a pet, a '54 convertible, jewels, a platinum record, a laptop, a sable, a new phone.
Do you think it’s a proper Christmas Carol? Why?
What do you think the video is like? Do you recognise the artist?
What changes do you think are necessary so that the song ca be sung by a man?
Santa baby, just slip a sable under the tree, for me
Been an awful good girl
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight
Santa baby, a '54 convertible too, light blue
I'll wait up for you dear Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight
Think of all the fun I've missed
Think of all the fellas that I haven't kissed
Next year I could be just as good
If you'd check off my Christmas list
Boo doo bee doo
Santa baby, I wanna yacht and really that's
Not a lot
Been an angel all year
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight
Santa honey, one thing I really do need, the deed
To a platinum mine
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight
Santa cutie and fill my stocking with a duplex, and checks
Sign your 'X' on the line
Santa cutie, and hurry down the chimney tonight
Come and trim my Christmas tree
With some decorations bought at Tiffany
I really do believe in you
Let's see if you believe in me
Boo doo bee doo
Santa baby, forgot to mention one little thing, a ring
I don't mean on a phone
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight
Hurry down the chimney tonight
Hurry ... tonight
