Baby It s Cold Outside lyrics
with Rita McNeil

I really can t stay
But baby it s cold outside
I ve got to go way
But baby it s cold outside
This evening has been
Been hoping that you d drop in
So very nice
I ll hold your hands they re cold as 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
Put some records on while I pour.

The neighbors might think
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 starlight now
To break this spell
I ll take your hat your hair looks swell.

I oughta say no no no sir
Mind if I move in closer?
At least I m gonna say that I tried
What s the sense of hurting my pride
I really can t stay
Oh baby don t hold out
Ah, but it s cold outside
Baby it s cold outside

I simply must go
But baby it s cold outside
The answer is no
But baby it s cold outside
The welcome has been
How lucky that you dropped in
So nice and warm
Look out that window at that storm.

My sister will be suspicious
Don t your lips look delicious
My brother will be there at the door
Waves upon a tropical shore
My maiden aunt s mind is vicious
Gosh your lips are delicious
Well maybe just a cigarette more
Never such a blizzard before.

I ve got to get home
But baby you d freeze out there
Say lend me a comb
It s up to your knees out there
You ve really been grand
I thrill when you hold my hand
But don t you see
How can you do this thing to me?

There s bound to be talk tomorrow
Think of my lifelong sorrow
At least there will be plenty implied
If you caught pneumonia and died
I really can t stay
Get over that old doubt,
Ah, but it s cold outside

Where could you be going
When the wind is blowing
And it s cold outside
