Baby, It's Cold Outside (Music from the Major Motion Picture "Elf")

Hm, mm, mm-mm, mm-mm

I really can't stay (but baby, it's cold outside)
I've got to go away (but baby, it's cold outside)
This evening has been (been hopin' that you'd drop in) so very nice
(I'll hold your hands, they're just like ice)
My mother will start to worry (beautiful, what's your hurry?)
And father will be pacing the floor (listen to that fireplace roar)
So really, I'd better scurry (beautiful, please don't hurry)
Well, maybe just a half a drink more (put some records on while I pour)

The neighbors might think (baby, it's bad out there)
Say, what's in this drink? (No cabs to be had out there)
I wish I knew how (your eyes are like starlight now) to break the spell
(I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell)
Mm, 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 hurtin' my pride?)
I really can't stay (baby, don't hold out)
Ah, but it's cold outside
Mm, mm-mm, mm-mm

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 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)

I've got to get home (but baby, you'll freeze out there)
Say, lend me your comb (it's up to your knees out there)
You've really been grand (I'll thrill when you touch my hand), but don't you see?
(How can you do this thing to me?)
There's bound to be talk tomorrow (think of my lifelong sorrow)
At least there will be plenty implied (if you caught pneumonia and died)
I really can't stay (get rid of that holdout)
Ah, but it's cold outside
