Baby, It's Cold Outside (with Dorothy Kirsten)

I really can't stay (but baby, it's cold outside)

I've got to go away (but baby, it's cold outside)

Been hoping that you (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 (baby, it's bad out there)

Say, what's in that drink? (No cabs to be had out there)

I wish I knew how (your eyes are like starlight now)

To break this 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 (baby, don't hold out)

Ah, but it's cold outside (baby, it's cold outside)

I've gotta get home (but baby, you'd freeze out there)

Say, lend me a coat (it's up to your knees out there)

You've really been great (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 lifelong sorrow)

At least there'll be plenty implied (if you caught pneumonia and died)

I really can't stay (get over that old doubt)

Baby, it's cold, baby, it's cold outside

On the other end, you're too warm

As I said before

Well, I thought I lock the door, you see, there was a draft blowing in

And it's getting kinda chilly out here, gulp

What was that

I swallowed the key

You're a villain

But you're thrilling

Baby, it's cold outside

Oh, Frankie
