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
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
Mind if I move
a little closer
At least they'll be oh
But 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
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
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
Ah but it's cold outside
