Sammy Davis Jr. — Baby It’s Cold Outside

[Spoken Intro: Sammy Davis Jr. & Carmen McRae] Brrr, ah, that's nice, now we're inside. Did you have a good time tonight, Carmen? Oh, I had a wonderful time, Sam Oh, good, well, I figured it'd be so much nicer here than outdoors, you know, where the fireplace is going. It's nice, it's cozy, it's warm and nice... [Verse 1: Carmen McRae & Sammy Davis Jr.]Ah yeah, 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 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 I really can't stay  But, baby, it's cold outside But, baby, it's cold outside Been hoping you'd drop in I'll hold your hands They're just like ice Beautiful, what's your hurry? Listen to that fireplace roar Beautiful, please don't hurry Put some records on while I pour But, baby, it's bad out there No cabs to be had out there Your eyes are like starlight now I'll take your hat; your hair looks swell Mind if I move in closer? What's the sense of hurting my pride? Oh, baby, don't hold out[Both] Ah, but, it's cold outside [Spoken interlude: Sammy Davis Jr.] Now, that's nicer isn't it? We've got the magazines all put away. We're all comfy and warm and... well, Carmen, now... [Verse 2: Carmen McRae & Sammy Davis Jr.]Uh-uh, I simply must go The answer is no, Sam The welcome has been So nice and warm My sister will be suspicious My brother will be there at the door My maiden aunt's mind is vicious Well, maybe just a cigarette more I've got to get home Sam, 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 I really can't stay  But, baby, it's cold outside But, baby, it's cold outside How lucky that you dropped in Look out that window at that storm Gosh, your lips look delicious Like waves upon a tropical shore Gosh, your lips are delicious Never such a blizzard before But, baby, you'll freeze out there! It's up to your knees out there I thrill when you touch my hand How can you do this thing to me? Think of my life long sorrow If you caught pneumonia and died Get over that old doubt[Both] Ah, but it's cold outside
