But baby it's cold outside
But baby it's cold outside
Been hoping that you'd drop in
I'll hold your hands, they're just like ice
My mother will start to worry
Beautiful, what's your hurry?
Father 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
Put some records on while I pour
The neighbors might think
Say, what's in this drink?
No cabs to be had out there
Your eyes are like starlight now
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 in hurting my pride?
Ah, but it's cold outside
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
My sister will be suspicious
God, your lips look so delicious
My brother will be there at the door
Waves upon the tropical shore
My maiden aunt's mind is vicious
Ooh your lips are delicious
Well, maybe, just a cigarette more
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?
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
Oh, baby, it's cold outside
