I simply must go...                     But baby it's cold outside
The answer is no...                     But baby it's cold outside
The welcome has been                How lucky that you dropped in
So nice and warm                       Look out that 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        Gosh your lips are delicious
Well, maybe just a cigarette more       Never such a blizzard before

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 hand
Why 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
