Lyrics

(Verse)

A heat wave was riding through town last week

She came from the island of Martinique

The can-can she dances will make you cry

The can-can is really the reason why

(Chorus)

We're having a heat wave

A tropical heat wave

The temperature's rising

It isn't surprising

She certainly can can-can

She started a heat wave

By letting her seat wave

And in such a way that

The customers say that

She certainly can can-can

Gee, her anatomy

Makes the mercury

Jump to ninety-three

We're having a heat wave

A tropical heat wave

The way that she moves

That thermometer proves

That she certainly can can-can
