Ladies, It’s Cold Outside

We really can't stay

Ladies, it's cold outside

We've gotta go away

Ladies, 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 that fireplace roar

So really I'd better scurry

Beautiful, please don't hurry

Well, maybe just a half a drink more

Why don't you put some records on while I pour?

The neighbors might think

Ladies, 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 this spell

I'll take your hat

Your hair looks swell

I oughta say no, no, no sir

Mind if I move a bit closer?

At least I'm gonna say that I tried

What's the sense in hurting my pride?

We really can't stay

Baby, don't hold out

Oh, but it's cold outside

We simply must go

Ladies, it's cold outside

The answer is no

But ladies, it's cold outside

Your 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 you're lips are delicious

But maybe just a sigarette more

Never such a blizzard before

We gotta go home

But baby you freeze to the bone 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

We really can't stay

Get over that hold out

Oh, but it's cold outside

Ladies, it's cold outside

Baby, it's cold outside
