I really
can't stay But baby it's cold outside Got
to go away But baby it's cold outside This
evening has been Been hoping you'd drop
in So very nice I'll hold your hands
they're just like ice
My mother will
start to worry Beautiful watch you're
wearing My 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 half a
drink Put some records on while I
pour
The neighbors might think 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 ought to say no
no Mind if I move in closer At least I'm
going to say I tried What's the sense of
hurting my pride I really can't stay Baby
don't hold out Baby it's cold outside
I simply must go Baby it's cold
outside The answer is no Baby it's cold
outside The welcome has been How lucky
that you dropped in So nice and warm Look
out the window at the storm
My sister
will be suspicious Gosh 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 But maybe just a cigarette Never
such a blizzard before
I got to get
home But baby you'd freeze out there Say
lend me a comb 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 to me
There's
bound to be talk tomorrow Think of my life
long sorrow At least they'll be plenty
implied If you caught pneumonia and died I
really can't stay Get over that old
doubt Baby it's cold
