Ella Fitzgerald - Baby It's Cold Outside Lyrics

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�
(Been hoping that you'd drop 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�)
And Father will be pacing the floor�
(Listen to the fireplace roar�)
So really I'd better scurry�
(Beautiful please don't hurry�)
Well maybe just a half a drink more�
(Put some records on while I pour�)
The neighbours might think�
(But 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 starlight now�)
To break the 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 of hurting my pride?)
I really can't stay�
(Oh baby don't hold out�)
AH BUT IT'S COLD OUTSIDE!
I simply must go�
(But baby it's cold outside�)
The answer is no�
(But baby it's cold outside�)
The welcome has been�
(How lucky that you dropped in�)
So nice and warm�
(Look out that window at that storm!)
My sister will be suspicious�
(God your lips look delicious!)
My brother will be there at the door�
(Waves upon a tropical shore�)
My maiden aunt's mind is vicious�
(God your lips are delicious� )
Well maybe just a cigarette more�
(Never such a blizzard before�)
I got to get home�
(But baby you'd freeze out there�)
Say lend me a comb�
(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�)
AH BUT IT'S COLD OUTSIDE!
(Where you could be going when the wind is blowing and it's cold outside?)
BABY IT'S COLD, COLD OUTSIDE!
