Baby It's Cold Outside

Howe Gelb


I really can't stay
But it's hot out there
I have got to go away
So very hot out there
This evening has been
The summer here is simmerin'
So very nice
Have a little sauza on ice
My mother will start to worry
Aw, there's no hurry
My father will be pacing the floor
Listen to that air conditioner purr
So really I better scurry
We move a little bit slower here
Well maybe just a half-a-drink more
Just settle back while I pour
What will the neighbors all think ?
It's really bad out there
Say, what's in this drink ?
You'll fry your feet out there
I wish I knew how
That's what I'm talking about
To break this spell
It's hotter then… well
But I ought to say no sir
Baby It's Cold Outside
May I move a little closer
At least I'm going to say that I tried
What's the use of hurting my pride ?
I really can't stay
Oh sweet darlin'
Ah but it's hot outside
