Baby, It's Cold Outside

I really can′t stay - Betty, it's cold outside I′ve got to go away - Betty, it's cold out there 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? And father will be pacing the floor - Listen to that fireplace roar So really I′d better scurry - Beautiful, please don't hurry Well, maybe just a half a drink more - Why don′t you put Some records on while I pour And the neighbors might think - Betty 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, no sir - Mind if I move in closer? At least I'm gonna say that I tried - What′s the sense Of hurtin′ my pride? I really can't stay - Baby don′t hold out Ah but it's cold outside I simply must go - Betty it′s cold outside The answer is no - I say, it's cold out there The welcome has been - How lucky that you dropped in So nice and warm - Look out that window, man that′s hard 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 Well maybe just a cigarette more - Oh, never such a blizzard before I've got to go home - Betty, you′ll freeze out there Say, lend me your 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 thing to me? There's bound to be talk tomorrow - Think of my lifelong sorrow At least there will be plenty implied - If you caught Pneumonia and died I really can′t stay - Get over that old lie Ah but it's cold outside
