Lyrics Baby It's Cold Outside - Louis Armstrong

Baby, it's cold outside

I really can't stay (mama, it's cold outside)
I've got to go way (I said, it's cold outside)
I wish I knew how (tickled to death that you dropped in)
To break this spell, to break this spell (you better break that spell, a-go-to)
My mother will start to worry (mama, what's your hurry)
Father will be pacin' the floor (when he's gotta go, he's gotta go)

Really I'd better hurry (please don't hurry)
Well maybe just a half a drink more (put some hot records on while I pour)
The neighbours might think (mama, it's bad out there)
Hey pops (what's that?), what's in this drink? (Ain't no fun to be had out there, you know)

This evenin' has been (it ain't even started yet)
So nice and fine (take another drink of wine, maybe you'll change your mind)
I ought to say no, no, no, sir (you don't have to call me sir)
At least I'm gonna say that I tried (give it up, give it up, give it up)
I really can't stay (and, don't hold out)

Ah, but it's cold outside
