It's Cold Outside

I really can't stay

Baby it's cold outside

I've got to go away

Baby it's cold out there

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?

My father will be pacing the floor

Listen to that fireplace roar

So really I'd better scurry

Beautiful, please don't hurry

Well maybe just a half a drink more

Why don't you put some records on while I pour

The neighbors 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

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 in closer?

At least I'm gonna say that I tried

What's the sense in hurting my pride?

I really can't stay

Baby don't hold out

Baby it's cold outside

I simply must go

See that it's cold outside.

The answer is no

I said it's cold out there.

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

Gosh, your lips look delicious.

My brother will be there at the door

Waves upon a tropical shore.

My maiden aunt's mind is vicious

Oh, your lips are delicious.

Maybe just a cigarette more

Never such a blizzard before.

Hey I've got to go home

Baby, you'll freeze out there

Say, lend me your coat

It's up to your knees out there

You've really been grand

I'm thrilled 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

Think of my life long sorrow

At least there will be plenty implied

If you caught pneumonia and died

I really can't stay

Get over that old lie

Baby, baby it's cold outside
