Bing Crosby - Baby It's Cold Outside lyrics
rate meText - Doris Day
(Text) - Bing Crosby
I really can’t stay
(But baby its cold outside)
I’ve got to go away
(But baby it’s cold outside)
This evening has been so very nice
(Been hoping that you’d drop in)
(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 the fireplace roar)
So really I better scurry!
(Beautiful please don’t hurry)
Well maybe just a half a drink more
(Put some records on while I pour)
The neighbors might think
(Baby it’s bad out there)
Say.. what’s in this drink
(No cares to be had out there)
I wish I knew how.... to break the spell
(Your eyes are like starlight now)
(I’ll take your hat) *gasps* (your hair looks swell)
I outta 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
(Baby don’t hold out)
Ah but it’s cold outside!
(Baby it’s cold outside!)
**Musical break**
I simply must go
(But baby it’s cold outside)
The answer is NO
(But baby it’s cold outside)
This welcome has been so nice and warm
(How lucky that you dropped in)
(Look out the 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
(Ooh your lips are delicious)
Well maybe just a cigarette more
(Never such a blizzard before)
I’ve got to get home!
(But baby you’ll freeze out there!)
Say… lend me a comb?
(It’s up to your knees out there)
You really been grand!
(I thrill when u 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 life long sorrow…)
At least there be plenty implied!
(If you caught pneumonia and died!!)
I really can’t stay!
(Get over that old Alf)*****
But it’s cold outside!
(Ooh baby it’s cold outside!)
*****Means get over your old boyfriend (named Alf [who was a real jerk anyway])
