I really can't stay - Baby it's cold outside
I've got to go away - 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 just like 
ice
My mother will start to worry - Beautiful, what's your 
hurry
My father will be pacing the floor - Listen to the 
fireplace roar
So really I'd better scurry - Beautiful, please don't 
worry
Well maybe just a half a drink more - Put some music on 
while I pour
The neighbors might think - 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
To break the spell - I'll take your hat, your hair 
looks swell
I ought to say no, no, no, sir - Mind if I move closer
At least I'm gonna say that I tried - What's the sense 
in hurting my pride?
I really can't stay - But darling don't hold out
Ahh, but it's cold outside
I simply must go - Baby, it's cold outside
The answer is no - Ooh darling, it's cold outside
This welcome has been - I'm lucky that you dropped in
So nice and warm - Look out the window at that storm
My sister will be suspicious - Man, 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 go home - Oh, baby, you'll freeze out there
Say, lend me your coat - It's up to your knees out 
there
You've really been grand - I thrill when you touch 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 life 
long sorrow
At least there will be plenty implied - If you caught 
pneumonia and died
I really can't stay - Get over that hold out
Baby it's cold outside
