A heat wave ride into town last week
She came from the island of Martini
The can-can she dances will make you fry
The can-can is really the reason why
We're having a heat wave, a tropical heat wave
The temprature's rising, it isn't surprising
She certainly can, can-can
She started the heat wave by letting her seat wave
And in such a way that the customers say
That she certainly can, can-can
See her anatomy, made the mercury
Jump to ninety three, yes, sir
Were having a heat wave, a tropical heat wave
The way that she moves that thermometer proves
That she certainly can, can-can
It's so hot the weather man will tell you
A record's been made
It's so hot a coat of tan will cover
Your face in a shade
It's so hot the coldest maiden feel just
As warm as a bride
It's so hot, a chicken laid an egg
On the streets and it's fried
We're having a heat wave, a tropical heat wave
The temprature's rising, it isn't surprising
She certainly can, can-can
She started the heat wave by letting her seat wave
And in such a way that the customers say
That she certainly can, can-can
See her anatomy, made that mercury
Jump to ninety three, yes sir, yeah, man
We're having a heat wave, a tropical heat wave
The way that she moves that thermometer proves
That she certainly can, can-can
