Baby, It's Cold Out There

I got to get home, fellows. I can't stay here all night.

It's kind of cold out there, June.

Yep, it sure is.

I ain't a fixing to stay
But baby, it's cold outside
I got to get away
But baby, it's cold outside

This evening has been
Been hoping that you'd fall in
So very nice
I'll hold your hands there just like feet

Mommy will start to worry
Beautiful what's your hurry
Pappy'll get the shotgun down
If he does, we'll have to leave town

Really I'd better scurry
Have a drink what's your hurry
Maybe just a half a jug more
Put some Eddie Arnold records on while I pour

The neighbors might think
But baby, it's bad out there
Say, what's in this here drink
That ain't sarsaparilla there

I wish I knew how
Your eyeballs are popping right now
To break the spell
I'll take your hair, your hat looks swell

I ought to say no, no, no, sir
Mind if we move in closer
At least I'm putting up a good fight
Boy, this black eye sure is a sight

I really can't stay
Oh, baby, it'll hold out there
Aww, but it's cold outside

Aw, pick it warm, Jethro

I simply must go
But baby, it's cold outside
The answer is no
But baby, it's cold outside

The weatherman said
How lucky that you fell in
It would be fair
That ain't snow chips falling out there

Sister will be suspicious
Gosh, your lips looks like pedals

Pedals?

Yeah, bicycle pedals.

My brother will be waiting at the door
Hope he won't be too sore
Aunt Sara's mind is suspicious
Gosh, your lips are delicious
Give me the key to that door
Never such a terrible blizzard before

I got to get home
But baby, you'd freeze out there
Say lend me a coat
It's up to your knees out there

You boys have been grand
We'd just like to hold your 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 will be plenty implied
If you caught pneumonia and died
