The neighbors might think - Baby, bad out there Say, what's in this drink - No cabs to be had out I I knew how - Your eyes are like starlight now To break the spell - I'll take hat, your hair looks swell I ought to say no, no, no, sir - Mind if I in closer At least I'm say that I tried - What's the sense in hurting my pride? I really can't - Baby don't hold out Ahh, but it's cold
I simply must go - But, baby, it's outside The answer is no - but, baby, it's outside This welcome has been - I'm lucky you dropped in So nice and warm - out the window at that storm My sister be suspicious - Gosh, your lips look delicious My brother will be there at the door - Waves upon a shore My maiden aunt's is vicious - Oh, your lips are delicious Well maybe just a cigarette more - Never a blizzard before
got to go home - Baby, you'll freeze out there Say, lend me your - It's up to your knees out there You've really grand - I thrill when you touch my hand But don't you see - How can you do this to me? There's to be talk tomorrow - Think of my life long sorrow At least there will be implied - If you caught pneumonia and died I really can't - Get over that hold out Ahh, but it's outside
