baby, its cold outside

i really can't stay

i gotta go away

this evening has been

so very nice

my mother will start to worry

my father will be pacing the floor

so really i'd better scurry

well maybe just a 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

baby it's cold outside

i simply must go

the answer is no

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 little more

i've got to get home

say lend me a coat?

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

baby it's cold

baby it's cold outside
