Baby It's Cold Outside

[Chorus]

I really can't stay

Baby, it's cold outside

I've got to go away

But baby, it's cold outside

[Verse 1]

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

Put some records on while I pour

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 this 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 going to say that I tried

What's the sense in hurting my pride?

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]

I simply must go

Baby, it's cold outside

Oh, the answer is no

Baby, it's cold outside

Your 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 so vicious

Your lips are delicious

Well, maybe just a cigarette more

Never such a blizzard before

I've got to go home

Maybe you'll freeze out there

Say lend me your coat

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

Think of my life long sorrow

At least there will be plenty implied

If you caught pneumonia and died

[Chorus]
