Baby, It's Cold Outside
I [C]really can't [Cmaj7]stay (Baby it's [C]cold out[Cmaj7]side)
I've [Dm]got to go [G7]away (Baby it's[Dm] cold out[G7]side)
This [C]evening has [Cmaj7]been (Been hoping that [C] you'd drop in)
[C] So very [Gm7]Nice (I'll hold your [C7] hands, they're just like ice)
My [F] mother will start to worry (Beautiful, what's your hurry?)
My [Fm] father will be pacing the floor (Listen to the fireplace roar)
So [C]really I'd better scurry (Beautiful, please don't hurry)
[Dm]Maybe just a half a drink [G7]more (Put some records on while I pour)
The [C]neighbors might [Cmaj7]think (Baby, it's [C]bad out [Cmaj7] there)
Say, [Dm]what's in this [G7]drink? (No cabs to be [Dm] had out [G7]there)
I [C]wish I knew [Cmaj7] how (Your eyes are like [C]starlight now)
[C]To break this [Gm7] Spell (I'll take your [C7] hat, your hair looks swell)
I [F] ought to say no, no, no (Mind if I move in closer?)
At [Fm] least I'm gonna say that I [G7] tried (What's the sense in hurting my pride?)
I[C] really can't stay (Baby don't [A7] hold out)
Ah, but it's[D7] cold [G7] out[C]side
I [C]simply must [Cmaj7]go (But baby it's[C]cold [Cmaj7]outside)
The [Dm]answer is [G7]no (But baby it's [Dm] cold out[G7]side)
The [C]welcome has [Cmaj7]been (How lucky that [C] you'd dropped in)
[C] So nice and [Gm7] warm (Look out that [C7] window at that storm)
My [F]sister will be suspicious (Gosh your lips look [Fm] delicious)
My [Fm]brother will be there at the door (Waves upon a tropical shore)
My [C]maiden aunt's mind is vicious (Gosh your lips are delicious)
Well, [Dm] maybe just a cigarette [G7]more (Never such a blizzard before)
I've [C]got to get [Cmaj7]home (But baby [C] you'd freeze out [Cmaj7] there)
Say, [Dm]lend me a [G7]coat (It's up to your [Dm]knees out [G7]there)
You've [C]really been [Cmaj7]grand (I'm thrilled when [C] you touch my hand)
[C] Why don't you [Gm7]see (How can you [C7] do this thing to [F] me?)
There's [F]bound to be talk tomorrow (Think of my lifelong sorrow)
At [Fm]least there will be plenty im[G7]plied (If you caught pneumonia and died)
I [C]really can't stay (Get over that [A7] hold-out)
Baby it's [D7]cold [G7]out[C]side
Baby it's [D7]cold, [G7] out[C]side
