"Baby, It's Cold Outside" lyrics - JOHNNY MERCER

[Margaret:] I really can't stay
[Johnny:] But baby, it's cold outside
[Margaret:] I've got to go 'way!
[Johnny:] But baby, it's cold outside
[Margaret:] This evening has been...
[Johnny:] Been hoping that you'd drop in
[Margaret:] So very nice
[Johnny:] I'll hold your hands, they're just like ice!
[Margaret:] My mother will start to worry...
[Johnny:] Beautiful, what's your hurry?
[Margaret:] And father will be pacing the floor
[Johnny:] Listen to the fireplace roar
[Margaret:] So really, I'd better scurry
[Johnny:] Beautiful, please don't hurry
[Margaret:] Well, maybe just a half a drink more
[Johnny:] Put some records on while I pour
[Margaret:] The neighbors might think...
[Johnny:] But baby, it's bad out there
[Margaret:] Say, what's in this drink?
[Johnny:] No cabs to be had out there
[Margaret:] I wish I knew how...
[Johnny:] Your eyes are like starlight, now
[Margaret:] To break the spell
[Johnny:] I'll take your hat
[Margaret:] (GASP)
[Johnny:] Your hair looks swell!
[Margaret:] I ought to say no, no, no, sir
[Johnny:] Mind if I move in closer?
[Margaret:] At least I'm gonna say that I tried
[Johnny:] What's the sense of hurting my pride?
[Margaret:] I really can't stay
[Johnny:] Baby, don't hold out...

[Both:] Ah, but it's cold outside...

[Margaret:] I simply must go!
[Johnny:] But baby, it's cold outside
[Margaret:] The answer is no!
[Johnny:] But baby, it's cold outside
[Margaret:] This welcome has been...
[Johnny:] How lucky that you dropped in
[Margaret:] So nice and warm
[Johnny:] Look out the window at that storm!
[Margaret:] My sister will be suspicious...
[Johnny:] Gosh, your lips look delicious
[Margaret:] My brother will be there at the door!
[Johnny:] Waves upon a tropical shore...
[Margaret:] My maiden aunt's mind is vicious!
[Johnny:] Ooo, your lips are delicious...
[Margaret:] Well, maybe just a cigarette more
[Johnny:] Never such a blizzard before!
[Margaret:] I've got to get home!
[Johnny:] But, baby, you'll freeze out there
[Margaret:] See ya, say, lend me a comb!
[Johnny:] It's up to your knees out there
[Margaret:] You've really been grand...
[Johnny:] I thrill when you touch my hand
[Margaret:] But don't you see?
[Johnny:] How can you do this thing to me?
[Margaret:] There's bound to be talk tomorrow...
[Johnny:] Think of my life long sorrow...
[Margaret:] At least, there will be plenty implied...
[Johnny:] If you caught pneumonia and died!
[Margaret:] I really can't stay
[Johnny:] Get over that old out...

[Both:] Ooo baby, it's cold outside...
