Well, I really can't stay
But, baby, it's cold outside
I got to go away
But, baby, it's cold outside
Well, this evening has been
Been hoping that you'd dropped 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 the fireplace roar
So really I'd better scurry
Beautiful, please don't hurry
Well, maybe just a half a drink more
I'll put some records on while I pour
The neighbors might think
But, baby, it's cold out there
Say, what's in this drink?
There's no Uber to be had out there
Too bad
I wish I knew how
Your eyes are like starlight now
To break this spell
Well, I'll take your hat
Your hair looks swell
Why, thank you
I oughta say, "No, no, no, sir"
Mind if move in closer?
At least I'm gonna say that I tried
What's the use of hurting my pride?
I really can't stay
Oh, but it's cold outside
I simply must go
But, baby, it's cold out there
The answer is no
Baby, it's cold out there
The welcome has been
How lucky that you dropped in
So nice and warm
Look out the window at that awful storm
Terrible storm
My sister will be suspicious
Gosh, your lips look delicious
My brother will be there at the door
My waves upon a tropical shore
My maiden aunt's mind is vicious
Oh, your lips are still delicious
Well, maybe just a cigarette more
Never such a blizzard before
I've got to get home
But, baby, you'll freeze out there
Say, lend me your coat
It's up to your knees out there
It's a really big coat
You've really been grand
I thrill when you touch my hand
Why don't you see?
How can you do this thing to me?
I don't, I don't know
There's bound to be talk tomorrow
Think of my life long sorrow
At least there will be plenty implied
If you caught pneumonia and died
I really can't stay
Oh, but it's cold outside
