Thank you, my friend SGT (Join to see) for sharing the music video of Eartha Kitt performing Santa Baby!
"This track was one of the first Christmas novelty songs. The usual holiday songs of that time had themes of childhood nostalgia, but this tune was humorous and from the adult's point of view.
"A 54 convertible" is a reference to a 1954 Cadillac 62 Series Convertible.
Eartha Kitt played herself in the film "New Faces" (1954) and sang this song there, which was later released in the USA, UK and Germany on an EP "Eartha Kitt Sings Songs from the Edward L. Alperson CinemaScope Production of Leonard Sillman's 'New Faces'".

"Santa Baby" Joan Javits with Philip Springer wrote this song for Eartha Kitt in 1953.
Lyrics
"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'll check off my Christmas list,

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 little thing I really 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's,
I really do believe in you,
Let's see if you believe in me,

Santa baby, forgot to mention one little thing,
A ring.
I don't mean on the phone,
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight,
Hurry down the chimney tonight,
Hurry, tonight."
