Baby It's Cold Outside Lyrics - Barenaked Ladies

with Rita McNeil 

I really can't stay 

But baby it's cold outside 

I've got to go 'way 

But baby it's cold outside 

This evening has been 

Been hoping that you'd drop in 

So very nice 

I'll hold your hands they're cold as ice. 

My mother will start to worry 

Beautiful what's your hurry? 

And father will be pacing the floor 

Listen to the fireplace roar 

So really I'd better scurry 

Beautiful please don't hurry 

Well maybe just a half a drink more 

Put some records on while I pour.

The neighbors might think 

But baby it's bad out there 

Say what's in this drink 

No cabs to be had out there 

I wish I knew how 

Your eyes are like starlight now 

To break this spell 

I'll take your hat your hair looks swell. 

I oughta say no no no sir 

Mind if I move in closer? 

At least I'm gonna say that I tried 

What's the sense of hurting my pride 

I really can't stay 

Oh baby don't hold out 

Ah, but it's cold outside 

Baby it's cold outside 

Photos 

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 

Don't 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. 

I've got to get home 

But baby you'd freeze out there 

Say lend me a comb 

It's up to your knees out there 

You've really been grand 

I thrill when you hold my hand 

But 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 

I really can't stay 

Get over that old doubt, 

Ah, but it's cold outside 

Where could you be going 

When the wind is blowing 

And it's cold outside
