I really can't stay
Baby, it's cold outside
I've got to go away

Baby, it's cold out there
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 you're hurry

And father
Will be
Pacing the floor

Listen
To that 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


And 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 now

To break the spell
I'll take your hat
Your hair looks swell


I ought to say
No, no, no sir

Mind if I
Mmove in closer?
At least I'm gonna say

That I tried
What's the sense of
Hurtin' my pride?

I really can't stay
Baby don't hold out
Baby

But it's cold outside

I simply must go

But baby
It's cold outside
The answer is no

I say
It's cold out there
The welcome

Has been how lucky
That you dropped in
So nice and warm

Look out that window
Man that's hard


My sister
Will be suspicious
Gosh

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
Oh
Never such a blizzard
Before


I've got to go home
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 lifelong sorrow
At least there

Will be plenty implied
If you caught pneumonia
And died
I really can't stay
Get over that hold out

Oh

But it's cold outside
