Ain’t It Awful, The Heat Lyrics
[VOICE OFFSTAGE, spoken]
Charlie!
[MRS. FIORENTINO, spoken]
Good evening, Mrs. Jones
[MRS. JONES, spoken]
Good evening, Mrs. Fiorentino
Well, I hope it's hot enough for you
[MRS. FIORENTINO, spoken]
Terrible!
[MRS. JONES, spoken]
Have you ever seen such heat?
[MRS. FIORENTINO, spoken]
I get through with the supper dishes und I am wet from head to foot
[MRS. JONES, spoken]
Ain’t a dry stitch on me neither
[MRS. FIORENTINO]
So I just take off my corset and let myself spread
[MRS. JONES]
I think I'll take a nice hot bath before I go to bed
[MRS. FIORENTINO]
The trouble with a bath is that when you get done
You're just about as hot again as when you bеgun
[MRS. FIORENTINO & MRS. JONES]
Ain’t it awful the heat, ain't it awful
Don't know what I'm gonna do
[MRS. FIORENTINO]
Gosh, I'm sweatin'!
[MRS. JONES]
My dog's frеttin'
I’m a-soakin’ wet all through
[MRS. FIORENTINO & MRS. JONES]
Don't know what I’m gonna do
[MRS. OLSEN, spoken]
Good evening
[MRS. FIORENTINO & MRS. JONES, spoken]
Good evening, Mrs. Olsen
[MRS. OLSEN, spoken]
I think it's more cooler in the cellar
[MRS. FIORENTINO]
A heat like this I don't remember
[MRS. JONES]
We'll all be wishin’ for this in December
[MRS. OLSEN]
My baby is cryin', cryin' all day
[MRS. FIORENTINO]
They feel the heat more than we do I say
[MRS. JONES]
And my dog Queenie is just draggin' roun'
Her tail ain't waggin', just hangin' down
[MRS. OLSEN]
My baby gets teeth; it hurts her gums
[MRS. JONES]
My kids used to nearly chew off their thumbs
[MRS. FIORENTINO]
The heat's got me, I'm feelin' lazy
[NEGRO WOMAN]
Lawdy, mercy, I'm nearly crazy!
[MRS. FIORENTINO, MRS. JONES & MRS. OLSEN]
Ooh!
Ain't it awful the heat! Ain't it awful!
[MR. OLSEN]
Ain't it awful!
[MRS. FIORENTINO, MRS. JONES & MRS. OLSEN]
Don't know what I'm gonna do
[MR. OLSEN]
Oh, what a heat, oh!
[MRS. JONES]
Damn mosquito!
[MRS. FIORENTINO, MRS. JONES, MRS. OLSEN & MR. OLSEN]
Only hope I live it through
[MR. OLSEN]
Ain't it awful!
[MRS. FIORENTINO, MRS. JONES, MRS. OLSEN & MR. OLSEN]
Don't know what I'm gonna do
Don't know what I'm gonna do
