[Spoken Intro: Sammy Davis Jr. & Carmen McRae]
Brrr, ah, that's nice, now we're inside. Did you have a good time tonight, Carmen?
Oh, I had a wonderful time, Sam
Oh, good, well, I figured it'd be so much nicer here than outdoors, you know, where the fireplace is going. It's nice, it's cozy, it's warm and nice...
[Verse 1: Carmen McRae & Sammy Davis Jr.]
Ah yeah, I really can't stay
I've got to go away
This evening has been
So very nice
My mother will start to worry
And father will be pacing the floor
So really I'd better scurry
Well, maybe just half a drink more
The neighbors might think
Say, what's in this drink?
I wish I knew how
To break this spell
I ought to say no, no, no, sir
At least I'm gonna say that I tried
I really can't stay
 
But, baby, it's cold outside
But, baby, it's cold outside
Been hoping you'd drop in
I'll hold your hands
They're just like ice
Beautiful, what's your hurry?
Listen to that fireplace roar
Beautiful, please don't hurry
Put some records on while I pour
But, baby, it's bad out there
No cabs to be had out there
Your eyes are like starlight now
I'll take your hat; your hair looks swell
Mind if I move in closer?
What's the sense of hurting my pride?
Oh, baby, don't hold out
[Both]
Ah, but, it's cold outside
[Spoken interlude: Sammy Davis Jr.]
Now, that's nicer isn't it? We've got the magazines all put away. We're all comfy and warm and... well, Carmen, now...
[Verse 2: Carmen McRae & Sammy Davis Jr.]
Uh-uh, I simply must go
The answer is no, Sam
The welcome has been
So nice and warm
My sister will be suspicious
My brother will be there at the door
My maiden aunt's mind is vicious
Well, maybe just a cigarette more
I've got to get home
Sam, lend me a comb
You've really been grand
But don't you see?
There's bound to be talk tomorrow
At least there will be plenty implied
I really can't stay
 
But, baby, it's cold outside
But, baby, it's cold outside
How lucky that you dropped in
Look out that window at that storm
Gosh, your lips look delicious
Like waves upon a tropical shore
Gosh, your lips are delicious
Never such a blizzard before
But, baby, you'll freeze out there!
It's up to your knees out there
I thrill when you touch my hand
How can you do this thing to me?
Think of my life long sorrow
If you caught pneumonia and died
Get over that old doubt
[Both]
Ah, but it's cold outside
