Baby, It’s Cold Outside

I really can't stay
I've got to go away
This evening has been
So very nice
My mother will start to worry
And father will be pacing the floor
So, really, I'd better scurry
Well maybe just a half a drink more

The neighbors might think
Say, what's in this drink?
I wish I knew how
To break this spell
I ought to say, "No, no, no, sir"
At least I'm gonna say that I tried

And I really can't stay
But it's cold outside

Now I simply must go
I said the answer is no
The welcome has been
So nice and warm
But my sister will be suspicious
And my brother will be there at the door
My maiden aunt's mind is vicious
Well maybe just a cigarette more
I've gotta get home
Say, lend me a comb
You've really been grand
But don't you see?
There's bound to be talk tomorrow
At least there will be plenty implied

And I really can't stay
But it's cold outside
