Baby， It’s Cold Outside - The Avalanches

I really can't stay
Betty it's cold outside
I've got to go away
Betty it's cold out there
This evening has been
Been 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 you're hurry
And father will be pacing the floor
Listen to that fireplace roar
So really I'd better scurry
Beautiful please don't hurry
Well maybe just a half a drink more
Why don't you put some records on while I pour
And the neighbors might think
Betty it's bad out there
Say what's in this drink
No cab's 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 hurtin' my pride
I really can't stay
Baby don't hold out
Ah but it's cold outside
I simply must go
Betty it's cold outside
The answer is no
I say it's cold out there
The welcome has been
How lucky that you dropped in
So nice and warm
Look out that window man that's hard
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
Gosh your lips are delicious
Well maybe just a cigarette more
Oh never such a blizzard before
I've got to go home
Betty you'll freeze out there
Say lend me your coat
It's up to your knees out there
You've really been grand
I thrill when you touch my 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
I really can't stay
Get over that old lie
Ah but it's cold outside
