-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 - Was 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 the hurry - My father will be pacing the floor - Listen to the fireplace roar - Really I'd better scurry - Beautiful please don't hurry - Well maybe just half a drink more - Put some records on while I pour
- 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 - 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 gonna say that I tried - What's the sense of hurting my pride? - I really can't stay - Baby don't hold out - (Oh but) it's cold outside
- The answer is no - But baby it's cold outside - This 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 - Ooh your lips are delicious - But maybe just a cigarette more - Never such a blizzard before
- I've got to get home - But baby you'll freeze out there - Say, lend me a coat? -It's up to your knees out there - You've really been grand - I'm thrilled when you touch my hair - 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 it will be plenty implied - If you got pneumonia and died - I really can't stay - Get over that hold out
