Lyrics

We are having a heat wave

A tropical heat wave

The temperature's rising, it isn't surprising

She certainly can, can-can

She started the 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

May the mercury jump to 93

Yes, sir, we're having a heat wave

A tropical heat wave

The way that she moves that thermometer proves that she certainly can, can-can

Gee, her anatomy

May the mercury jump to 93

Yes, sir, we're having a heat wave

A tropical heat wave

The way that she moves that thermometer proves that she certainly can, can-can

Ooh, we're having a heat wave

Ooh, how she moves, temperature proves she certainly can, can-can
