| 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 | |
| My father will be pacing the floor | |
| Listen to that fireplace roar | |
| So really I'd better scurry | |
| Oh beautiful, please don't hurry | |
| Maybe just a half a drink more | |
| Why don't you put some records on while I pour | |
| The neighbours might think | |
| Oh baby, it's bad out there | |
| Say, what's in this drink | |
| There's 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 a little closer | |
| At least I'm gonna say that I tried | |
| What's the sense of hurting my pride | |
| I really can't stay | |
| Baby don't hold out | |
| Ahh, but it's cold outside | |
| I simply must go | |
| Oh, baby, it's cold outside | |
| The answer is no | |
| You know it's cold outside | |
| This welcome has been | |
| I'm lucky that you dropped in | |
| So nice and warm | |
| Look out the window at that storm | |
| My sister will be suspicious | |
| Oh, your lips look delicious | |
| My brother will be there at the door | |
| Like waves upon a tropical shore | |
| My maiden aunt's mind is vicious | |
| Eww, your lips are delicious | |
| Well maybe just a cigarette more | |
| Never such a blizzard before | |
| I've got to go home | |
| Ah, baby, you would freeze out there | |
| Say, lend me a comb | |
| 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 pneumonia and died | |
| I really can't stay | |
| Get over that old out | |
| Ah but it's cold outside |
