Miley Cyrus Updates ‘Santa Baby’ for the #MeToo Era (Video)

“Listen Santa to what I say/A girl’s best friend is equal pay”

While you’re all busy debating the merits of playing “Baby It’s Cold Outside” in 2018, Miley Cyrus went to work revising the lyrics of another outdated Christmas classic: “Santa Baby,” which she debuted on the “Tonight Show” Thursday.

Her version includes solid lines, like: “Listen Santa to what I say/A girl’s best friend is equal pay.”

And these closing bars:

Santa baby, I’d love to know my ass won’t get grabbed
At work
By some ignorant jerk
Tell the dirtbags, to put away their chimneys tonight

Watch the video above.

Fellow “Tonight Show” guest Mark Ronson and host Jimmy Fallon didn’t quite know how to participate in this one.

The skit’s full lyrics are below.

Santa, baby, I hear you’ve got some presents
For me, Miley
I’ve been an awfully good girl,
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight

Santa, baby, I don’t fancy any fancy jewelry, not me
I’ve got something else in mind
Santa baby, and I don’t need your presents tonight

Don’t want diamonds, cash or stocks
Nothing that comes in a box
No more fluff, I’ve had enough
And I can buy my own damn stuff

Santa baby, I’ve got a baller car of my own,
No loans,
And I bought it myself
Santa baby, with zero help from Elf on the Shelf

Listen Santa to what I say
A girl’s best friend is equal pay
Stop interrupting me when I talk
And don’t text me pictures of your —

Santa baby, I’d love to know my ass won’t get grabbed
At work
By some ignorant jerk
Tell the dirtbags, to put away their chimneys tonight

Sorry, Santa
Just put away your chimney tonight!

Just put away your chimney tonight!
