[Betty]
I really can´t stay

[Ray]
Betty, it´s cold outside

[Betty]
I´ve got to go away

[Ray]
Betty, it´s cold out there

[Betty]
This evening has been

[Ray]
Been hoping that you´d drop in

[Betty]
So very nice

[Ray]
I´ll hold your hands, they´re just like ice

[Betty]
My mother will start to worry

[Ray]
Beautiful, what´s you´re hurry

[Betty]
And father will be pacing the floor

[Ray]
Listen to that fireplace roar

[Betty]
So really I´d better scurry

[Ray]
Beautiful, please don´t hurry

[Betty]
Well, maybe just a half a drink more

[Ray]
Why don´t you put some records on while I pour

[Betty]
And the neighbors might think

[Ray]
Betty it´s bad out there

[Betty]
Say, what´s in this drink?

[Ray]
No cab´s to be had out there

[Betty]
I wish I knew how

[Ray]
Your eyes are like starlight now

[Betty]
To break the spell

[Ray]
I´ll take your hat, your hair looks swell

[Betty]
I ought to say no, no, no, sir

[Ray]
Mind if I move in closer?

[Betty]
At least I´m gonna say that I tried

[Ray]
What´s the sense of hurting my pride?

[Betty]
I really can´t stay

Ray]
Baby don´t hold out

[Betty]
Ah, but it´s cold outside

[Betty]
I simply must go

[Ray]
Betty, it´s cold outside

[Betty]
The answer is no

[Ray]
I say, it´s cold out there

[Betty]
The welcome has been

[Ray]
How lucky that you dropped in

[Betty]
So nice and warm

[Ray]
Look out that window, man that´s hard

[Betty]
My sister will be suspicious

[Ray]
Gosh, your lips look delicious

[Betty]
My brother will be there at the door

[Ray]
Waves upon a tropical shore

[Betty]
My maiden aunt´s mind is vicious

[Ray]
Gosh, your lips are delicious

[Betty]
Well maybe just a cigarette more

[Ray]
Oh, never such a blizzard before

[Betty]
I´ve got to go home

[Ray]
Betty, you´ll freeze out there

[Betty]
Say, lend me your coat

[Ray]
It´s up to your knees out there

[Betty]
You´ve really been grand

[Ray]
I thrill when you touch my hand

[Betty]
But don´t you see

[Ray]
How can you do this thing to me

[Betty]
There´s bound to be talk tomorrow

[Ray]
Think of my lifelong sorrow

[Betty]
At least there will be plenty implied

[Ray]
If you caught pneumonia and died

[Betty]
I really can´t stay

[Ray]
Get over that old lie

[Betty & Ray]
Ah, but it´s cold outside!
