I really can't stay - Baby it's cold outside
I've got to go away - Baby it's cold outside
This outing 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 - Stay here won't you
and My father will be pacing the floor - Listen to the fireplace roar
So really I'd better scurry - I’m asking you please don’t hurry
well Maybe just a few minutes more - I promise you I won’t be a bore

The neighbours might talk - Baby, it's bad out here
Could we take a walk - No cabs to be had out here
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 ought to say no, no, no, sir - Mind if I move a little closer
At least I'm gonna say that I tried - What's the sense in hurting my pride
I really can't stay - Baby don't hold out
Ahh, but it's cold outside

I simply must go - Baby, it's cold outside
The answer is no - But baby, it's cold outside
This welcome has been - I'm lucky that you dropped in
So nice and warm - Look out, it’s gettin ready to storm
There’s bound to be talk tomorrow - Think of my life long soul
My brother will be there at the door - Waves upon a tropical shore
At least there will be plenty implied - If you caught pneumonia and died
Ahh, but it's cold outside.
