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...)
-5
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.
