Lyrics Heat Wave - Mildred Bailey , Glen Gray , The Casa Loma Orchestra

A heat wave blew right into town last week
She came from the island of Martinique
The can-can she dances will make you fry
The can-can is really the reason why

We're having a heat wave
A tropical heat wave
The temperature's rising, it isn't surprising
She certainly can can-can
She started the heat wave
By letting her seat wave
And in such a way that the customers say
That she certainly can can-can

Gee, her anatomy
Made the mercury
Jump to ninety-three

Yes sir, we're having a heat wave
A tropical heat wave
The way that she moves that thermometer proves
That she certainly can can-can
