Baby, It’s Cold Outside Lyrics by Kurt Nilsen

Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas

2010

[Verse 1: Christel Alsos, Kurt Nilsen]
I really can't stay (But baby it's cold outside)
I've got to go away (But baby it's cold outside)
This evening has been (How lucky that you'd dropped 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 the fireplace roar)
So really I'd better scurry (Please don't hurry)
Well maybe just a half a drink more (Put some music on while I pour)
The neighbors might think (Baby 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 starlit 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 in closer?)
At least I'm gonna say that I tried (What's the sense in hurting my pride?)
[Chorus: Christel Alsos, Kurt Nilsen, Both]
I really can't stay (Baby don't hold out)
Ah but it's cold outside
[Saxophone Solo]
[Verse 2: Christel Alsos, Kurt Nilsen]
But I simply must go (Baby it's cold outside)
The answer is no (Well, darling it's cold outside)
Your welcome has been (So lucky that you dropped in)
So nice and warm (Look out the window at the storm)
My sister will be suspicious (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 your lips are delicious)
But maybe just a cigarette more (Never such a blizzard before)
I've gotta go home (But baby you'd freeze 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 these 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)
[Chorus: Christel Alsos, Kurt Nilsen, Both]
I really can't stay (Get over that old doubt)
Ah but it's cold outside
