Baby It`s Cold Outside Lyrics

Baby, It's Cold Outside

 Margaret Whiting & Johnny Mercer (in italics)

 Music and lyrics by Frank Loesser

 

 I really can't stay

 But, baby, it's cold outside

 I got to go way

 But. baby, it's cold outside

 This evening's 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

 And father will be pacing the floor

 Listen to the fireplace roar

 So I'd better scurry

 Beautiful, please don't hurry

 Maybe just a half a drink more

 Put some records 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 now

 To break the spell

 I'll take your hand, your hair looks swell

 I ought to 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

 Baby don't hold out

 

 Ahh, but it's cold outside

 

 I simply must go

 But, baby, it's cold outside

 The answer is no

 But, baby, it's cold outside

 This welcome has been

 How lucky that you dropped in

 So nice and warm

 Look out the window at that storm

 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 visious

 Eww, your lips are 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

 See ya, say, lend me a comb

 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

 Making my life long sorrow

 At least there will plenty implied

 If you caught pnuemonia and died

 I really can't stay

 Get over that old out

 

 Ahh but it's cold outside
