Lyrics: Howe Gelb. Baby It’s Cold Outside.

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
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
