Baby Its Cold Outside     (CHIC3017)   (Jim MacDonald & Shauna Kaaria)

SFGS

I really can’t stay, (Baby, it’s cold outside)

I’ve got to go away, (Baby, it’s cold outside)

This evening has been, (Been hoping that you’d drop in)

So very nice,

A.L. / WEAVE ... (Your hands are cold as ice)

My mother will start to worry, (Beautiful, what’s your hurry?)

My 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).

SFGS

The neighbors might think, (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,

A.L. / WEAVE ... Your hair looks swell

I oughtta say no, no, no sir, (Mind if I move in closer?)

At least I’m gonna say that I tried, (What’s the sense in hurting my pride)

I really can’t stay, (Baby, don’t hold out),

Ah, but it’s cold outside.

SFGS

I’ve gotta go home, (Baby, you’ll freeze out there)

Can you 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 can’t you see?

A.L. / WEAVE ... (Don’t 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)

Baby, but it’s cold outside.

Baby, but it’s cold outside.
