| I really can't stay | But Baby it's cold outside |
| I've got to go 'way | 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 neighbors might thing - | 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, |
| [Together] Ahh but (Baby) It's Cold Outside |
| I simply must go - | But Baby, 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 vicious | Ooo, 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 | 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 doubt |
| [Together] Ahh but it's cold outside. |
