[Bette:] I really can't stay [James:] But baby, it's cold outside [B:] I got to go 'way [J:] But baby, it's cold outside [B:] This evening has been [J:] Been hopin' that you'd drop in [B:] so very nice [J:] I'll hold your hands, they're just like ice [B:] My mother will start to worry [J:] Beautiful, what's your hurry? [B:] My father will be pacing the floor [J:] Listen to that fireplace roar [B:] So really I'd better scurry [J:] Beautiful, please don't hurry [B:] Well, maybe just a half a drink more [J:] Put some records on while I pour [B:] You know the neighbors might think [J:] But baby, it's bad out there [B:] Er, what's in this drink? [J:] No cabs to be had out there [B:] I wish I knew how [J:] Your eyes are like starlight now [B:] to break this spell [J:] I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell [B:] I ought to say no, no, no sir [J:] Mind if I move in closer? [B:] At least I'm gonna say that I tried [J:] What's the sense in hurtin' my pride? [B:] I really can't stay [J:] Baby, don't hold out [B:] ah, but it's cold outside [J:] Baby, it's cold outside [B:] Ah, but it's cold outside [J:] Baby, it's cold outside
