|
I really can't stay |
|
But, baby, it's cold outside |
|
I've got to go away |
|
Ah, baby, it's cold outside |
|
This evening has been |
|
Been hoping that you'd drop in |
|
So very nice |
|
I'll hold your hands, they're just like ice |
|
My mother will start to worry |
|
Beautiful, what's your hurry |
|
And father will be pacing the floor |
|
Listen to the fireplace roar |
|
So really I'd better scurry |
|
Beautiful, please don't hurry |
|
Maybe just a half a drink more |
|
Put some records on while I pour |
|
The neighbours might think |
|
Baby, it's bad out there |
|
Say, what's in this drink? |
|
No cabs to be had out there |
|
I wish I knew how |
|
Your eyes are like starlight now |
|
To break the spell |
|
I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell |
|
I ought to say no, no, no, sir |
|
Mind if I move a little closer? |
|
At least there will be, oh, but I tried |
|
What's the sense of hurting my pride |
|
I really can't stay |
|
Baby don't hold out |
|
Ah, but it's cold outside |
|
I simply must go |
|
Ah, baby, it's cold outside |
|
The answer is no |
|
You know it's cold outside |
|
This welcome has been |
|
How lucky that you dropped in |
|
So nice and warm |
|
Look out the window at that storm |
|
My sister will be suspicious |
|
Ah, your lips look delicious |
|
My brother will be there at the door |
|
Like waves upon a tropical shore |
|
My maiden aunt's mind is visious |
|
Ooh, your lips are delicious |
|
Well maybe just a cigarette more |
|
Never such a blizzard before |
|
I've got to go home |
|
But, baby, you'll freeze out there |
|
Say, lend me a coat |
|
You know it's up to your knees out there |
|
You've really been grand |
|
I thrill when you touch my hand |
|
But don't you see |
|
How can you do this thing to me |
|
There's bound to be talk tomorrow |
|
Making my life long sorrow |
|
At least there will plenty implied |
|
If you caught pnuemonia and died |
|
I really can't stay |
|
Get over that old doubt |
|
Ah, but it's cold outside |
|
(Bloody freezing, innit?) |
