Baby It's Cold Outside
Words and music by Frank Loesser
I really canââ¬â¢t stay
But baby, itââ¬â¢s cold outside
Iââ¬â¢ve got to go away
Ah, baby, itââ¬â¢s cold outside
This evening has been
Been hoping that youââ¬â¢d drop in
So very nice
Iââ¬â¢ll hold your hands, theyââ¬â¢re just like ice
My mother will start to worry
Beautiful, whatââ¬â¢s your hurry
My father will be pacing the floor
Listen to that fireplace roar
So really Iââ¬â¢d better scurry
Oh beautiful, please donââ¬â¢t hurry
Maybe just a half a drink more
Why donââ¬â¢t you put some records on while I pour
The neighbours might think
Oh baby, itââ¬â¢s bad out there
Say, whatââ¬â¢s in this drink
Thereââ¬â¢s no cabs to be had out there
I wish I knew how
Your eyes are like starlight now
To break this spell
Iââ¬â¢ll take your hat, your hair looks swell
I ought to say no, no, no, sir
Mind if I move a little closer
At least Iââ¬â¢m gonna say that I tried
Whatââ¬â¢s the sense of hurting my pride
I really canââ¬â¢t stay
Baby donââ¬â¢t hold out
Ahh, but itââ¬â¢s cold outside
I simply must go
Oh, baby, itââ¬â¢s cold outside
The answer is no
You know itââ¬â¢s cold outside
This welcome has been
Iââ¬â¢m lucky that you dropped in
So nice and warm
Look out the window at that storm
My sister will be suspicious
Oh, your lips look delicious
My brother will be there at the door
Like waves upon a tropical shore
My maiden auntââ¬â¢s mind is vicious
Eww, your lips are delicious
Well maybe just a cigarette more
Never such a blizzard before
Iââ¬â¢ve got to go home
Ah, baby, you would freeze out there
Say, lend me a comb
You know itââ¬â¢s up to your knees out there
Youââ¬â¢ve really been grand
I thrill when you touch my hand
But donââ¬â¢t you see
How can you do this thing to me
Thereââ¬â¢s bound to be talk tomorrow
Making my life long sorrow
At least there will plenty implied
If you caught pneumonia and died
I really canââ¬â¢t stay
Get over that old out
Ah but itââ¬â¢s cold outside
