Baby, it's cold outside

I've got to go 'way  

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's your 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  

why you don't 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 move in closer?

At least I'm gonna say that I tried  

What's the sense of hurtin' 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  

 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, 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 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 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  

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

Together:
ah, but it's cold outside
