DOWN THE CHIMNEY
Opening with a snapped vocal phrase over an isolated, throbbing bass, the track instantly hooks the listener. Slick R&B beats intertwine with glossy synths and crisp hi-hats. Dynamic female lead vocals glide boldly through syncopated verses, accented with sleek guitar stabs and lush pads. The chorus unleashes swirling harmonies and ear-grabbing melodic hooks, while artful vocal adlibs—like “ooh yeah,” “turn it up,” and whispered runs—heighten the mood. The arrangement revisits the punchy hook three times, each chorus intensifying with extra layers, culminating in a stripped, emotionally charged outro.

Lyrics
Come on now, baby,
Now don’t you pout—
You know old Santa’s gonna come down,
Down the chimney (down the chimney).
He’s not sneaking in the back door,
He’s not creeping through the halls…
He’s sliding right where you want him,
And he knows just who you are.
He’s not coming in the back door…
He’s coming down the chimney, baby.
Down the chimney—
(not the back door)
He’s coming down the chimney, baby.
Down the chimney—
(not the back door)
He’s coming down the chimney, baby.
He’s got a big old sack,
Filled with toys and clothes and stuff—
I hope he doesn’t get stuck now,
Santa… baby… hurry up.
Bring that big ol’ belly
And all that Christmas heat…
Slide it down the chimney,
Come deliver it to me.
Down the chimney—
(not the back door)
He’s coming down the chimney, baby.
Down the chimney—
(not the back door)
He’s coming down the chimney, baby.
He knows I’m waiting for him,
Lights glowing red and gold…
He sees the fire burning,
He feels it in his soul.
If he checks that list again,
He’ll see I’m never sweet—
I’m always just a little naughty,
Every single Christmas week.
Down the chimney—
(not the back door)
He’s coming down the chimney, baby.
Down the chimney—
(not the back door)
He’s coming down the chimney, baby.
He’s coming down the chimney, baby…
He’s coming down the chimney, baby…
Yeah… he’s coming down the chimney, baby.
