It's Cold Outside



Music and lyrics by Frank Loesser

I really can't stay
But, baby, it's cold outside
I got to go way
But. baby, it's cold outside
This evening's 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 I'd better scurry
Beautiful, please don't hurry
Maybe just a half a drink more
Put some records 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 starlight now
To break the spell
I'll take your hand, 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
Baby don't hold out

Ahh, 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
This welcome has been
How lucky that you dropped in
So nice and warm
Look out the window at that storm
My sister will be suspicious
Gosh, your lips look delicious
My brother will be there at the door
Waves upon a tropical shore
My maiden aunt's mind is visious
Eww, your lips are delicious
Well maybe just a cigarette more
Never such a blizzard before
I've got to get home
But, baby, you'll freeze out there
See ya, 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
Making my life long sorrow
At least there will plenty implied
If you caught pnuemonia and died
I really can't stay
Get over that old out

Ahh but it's cold outside

Paul, Mark and Marcia's Version

I can't stay,
But Marcia it's cold outside.
I gotta go away,
But Marcia it's cold outside.
This evening has been,
I was hoping you'd drop by,
So very nice,
I'll hold your hands they're just like ice.
Father's going to start to worry,
Beautiful what's your hurry?
And Daddy will be pacing the floor,
Listen to the fireplace roar.
So really I'd better scurry,
Beautiful please don't hurry.
Maybe just a half a drink more,
I'll put some records on while I pour.

The neighbours might think,
Marcia it's bad out there.
So what's in a drink,
No drink to be had out there.
I wish I knew how,
Your eyes are like starlight now.
It's breaking my spell,
I'll take your hands you're hair looks swell.
I want to say no, no, no,
It's fine if I move in closer.
At least I can say that I tried,
What's the sense of hurting my pride?
I really can't stay,
Oh baby don't hold out,
Oh but it's cold outside.

So, uh, who's she?
It was an accident.
I simply must go,
But baby it's cold outside.
The answer is no,
I said it's cold outside.
I really can't stay,
You're lucky that I dropped by.
You freak me out.
Did I see Marcia Hines?
Mikey will be suspicious,
Boy he just looks delicious.
And Julie will be pacing the floor,
Marcia and I are old friends.
My pitball is kinda viscious,
Gosh he looks pretty..
Hey Marsh, I love that new single of yours.
Yes, it's now in the stores.
But leave us alone,
Oh, but three sounded like ____,
We'll be warm if there's three of us.
I'm up to my knees in here,
I hear that you're free.
They say that two's company,
But three can be fun..
Stay here while I go get my gun.
There's bound to be talk tomorrow,
Think of our long life sorrow.
At least there will be plenty of pie,
If we caught pnemonia and died.
I really can't stay,
Oh but it's cold out,
oh, but it's cold outside!
