I really can`t stay
But baby it`s cold outside
I`ve got to go `way
But 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 cold as 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
Well maybe just a half a drink more
Put some records on while I pour.
The neighbors might think
But 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 this spell
I`ll take your hat your hair looks swell.
I oughta say no no no sir
Mind if I move in closer?
At least I`m gonna say that I tried
What`s the sense of hurting my pride
I really can`t stay
Oh baby don`t hold out
Ah, but it`s cold outside
Baby it`s cold outside
I simply must go
But baby it`s cold outside
The answer is no
But baby it`s cold outside
The welcome has been
How lucky that you dropped in
So nice and warm
Look out that window at that storm.
My sister will be suspicious
Don`t your lips look delicious
My brother will be there at the door
Waves upon a tropical shore
My maiden aunt`s mind is vicious
Gosh your lips are delicious
Well maybe just a cigarette more
Never such a blizzard before.
