Baby, It's Cold Outside-Louis Jordan & His Tympany Five/Ella Fitzgerald

I really can't stay But baby it's cold outside I've got to go away 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 think 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 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 going to say that I tried What's the sense in hurting my pride I really can't stay Oh baby don't hold out Ah 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 The 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 Gosh your lips are delicious Well maybe just a cigarette more Never such a blizzard before I've got to get home But baby you'd freeze out there Say lend me your 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 Ah but it's cold outside Where could you be going When the wind is blowing and it's cold outside Baby it's cold cold outside
