Lyrics:
[Verse 1] [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 [Verse 2] [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!
