I  really can't  stay
  (But, baby, it's cold outside)
 I got  to go way
 (side) (But, baby, it's cold outside)
 This evening's  has been
 (outside) (Been hoping that you'd drop in)
  So very nice
 (drop in) (I'll hold your hands, they're just like ...)
 My mother  will start  to worry
 (...ice) (Beautiful, what's your...)
 And father  will be pacing  the floor
 (...hury) (Listen to the fireplace...)
 So really  I'd better  scurry
 (...roar) (Beautiful, please...)

 Well, maybe just a half a drink more
 (don't hurry) (Put some records on while I...)
 The neighbors  might  think
 (pour) (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 star...)
   To break  the spell
 (light now) ( I'll take your hand, your hair looks...)
 I ought  to say no,  no, no,  sir
 (swell) (Mind if I move in...)
 At least  I'm gonna say  that I tried
  (closer) (What's the sense of hurting...)
 I really  can't stay
 (my pride) (Baby don't hold out)
 
 Ahh, but it's cold out - side.
 (Ba - by it's cold out - side.)
I  simply must go
  (But, baby, it's cold outside)
The  answer is  no
  (But, baby, it's cold outside)
This  welcome has been
  (How lucky that you...)
 So nice  and warm
 (dropped in) (Look out the window at that...)
My  sister will  be suspicious
  (storm) (Gosh, your lips look de-...)
 My brother  will be there  at the door
 (-licious) (Waves upon a tropical...)
 My maiden  aunt's mind  is visious
 (shore) (Gosh, your lips are de-...)
  -5
 Well maybe just a cigarette more
 (-licious) (Never such a blizzard be-...)
 I've got  to get  home
 (-fore) (But, baby, you'll freeze out there)
See  ya, say, lend  me a comb
  (It's up to your knees out there)
 You've really  been grand
  (I thrill when you touch...)
 But don't  you see
 (my hand) (How can you do this thing to...)
There's  bound to be talk  tomorrow
 (me) (Think of my life long...)
 At least  there will plenty implied
 (sorrow) (If you caught pnuemonia and...)
  I really  can't stay
 (died) (Get over that old doubt)
 Ahh but it's cold  out  - side.
