| 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?) |
