I ought to say no, no, no, sir – (Mind if I move in closer?) At least I’m gonna say that I tried – (What’s the sense of hurting my pride?) I really can’t stay – (Baby don’t hold out)
I simply must go – (But baby it’s cold outside) The answer is no – (But baby it’s cold outside) This welcome has been – (How lucky that you dropped in) So nice and warm – (Look out the window at that storm!)
My sister will be suspicious – (Gosh your lips look delicious!) My brother will be there at the door – (Waves upon a tropical shore) My maiden aunt’s mind is vicious – (Boy, your lips look delicious!) Well maybe just a cigarette more – (Never such a blizzard before)
