We’re having a Heat Wave,
A tropical Heat Wave.
The temp’rature’s rising,
It isn’t surprising.
She certainly can, can-can.
She started the Heat Wave
By letting her seat wave.
And in such a way
That the customers say
That she certainly can, can-can.
Gee her anatomy, made the mercury
Jump to ninety three. yes sir!
We’re having a Heat Wave,
A tropical Heat Wave.
The way that she moves
That thermometer proves
That she certainly can, can-can.
Patter:
It's so hot the weather man will tell you a record's been made.
It's so hot a coat of tan will cover your face in the shade.
It's so hot the coldest maiden feels just as warm as a bride.
It's so hot a chicken laid an egg on the street and it fried.
