Baby It’s Cold Outside Lyrics by Kermit Ruffins

Have a Crazy Cool Christmas!

0

I really can't stay, it is cold outside
I've got to go away, it is cold out there
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 mama will start to worry, beautiful, what's your hurry?
And daddy will be pacing the floor, listen to the [Incomprehensible]
So baby, 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, baby, it's cold 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 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, oh, but it's cold outside
I simply must go, baby, it's cold outside
The answer is no, baby, it's cold outside
The welcome has been, I'm lucky that you dropped in
So nice and warm, look out that window at that storm
My sister will be suspicious, man, 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
Well, maybe just a half a drink more, oh, never such a blizzard before
I've got to go home, baby, you'll 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 this thing to me?
There's bound to be talk tomorrow, think of my life long sorrow
At least there will be plenty implied, if you caught pneumonia and died
I really can't stay, get over that old out
Baby, it's cold outside
Merry Christmas
