Baby, It’s Cold Outside

   C             Cmaj7        C     Cmaj7 
I really can't stay
               But baby it's cold outside
      Dm         G7         Dm      G7 
I've got to go away
             But baby it's cold outside
    C            Cmaj7               C
The evening has been
             Been hoping that you'd drop in
         Gm7                 C7 
So very nice
             I'll hold your hands, they're just like ice

    My mother will start worry
                        Beautiful what’s your hurry?
         Fm
    And father will be pacing the floor
                                       Listen to the fireplace roar
        C
    So really i'd better scurry
                       Beautiful please don't hurry
         Dm                        G
    But maybe just a half a drink more
                                  Put some records on while I pour
 
     C                Cmaj7       C     Cmaj7 
The neighbors might think
                    Baby it's bad out there
       Dm             G7          Dm       G7 
Say, what's in this drink?
                   No cabs to be had out there
   C           Cmaj7               C 
I wish i knew how
              Your eyes are like starlight now
               Gm7             C7 
To break the spell
               I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell
 
      F
    I ought to say, "No, no, no sir"
                               Mind if I move in closer?
        Fm                          G7
    At least i'm gonna say that i tried
                                  What's the sense in hurtin' my pride?
       C             Bb7       A7
    I really can't stay
                   Baby don't hold out
         D7       G7      C
    Ah, but it's cold outside
     
   C          Cmaj7      C       Cmaj7 
I simply must go 
             Baby, it's cold outside
    Dm         G7               Dm     G7
The answer is no
             Ooh darling, it's cold outside
      C          Cmaj7              C  
This welcome has been
               I'm lucky that you dropped in
             Gm7              C7
So nice and warm 
                Look out the window at that storm
 
        F
    My sister will be suspicious 
                       Man, your lips look delicious
         Fm                          G7
    My brother will be there at the door
                                   Waves upon a tropical shore
        C
    My maiden aunt's mind is vicious 
                             Gosh your lips are delicious
          Dm                        G
    Well maybe just a half a drink more
                                   Never such a blizzard before
 
      C         Cmaj7             C          Cmaj7
I've got to go home
               Oh, baby, you'll freeze out there
     Dm    G7    Dm    G7
Say, lend me your coat 
             It's up to your knees out there
 C     Cmaj7            C
You've really been grand 
                I thrill when you touch my hand
  Gm7     C7
But don't you see?
              How can you do this thing to me?
 
       F
    There's bound to be talk tomorrow
                            Think of my life long sorrow
        Fm                            G7
    At least there will be plenty implied 
                                   If you caught pneumonia and died
       C             Bb7             A7
    I really can't stay
                  Get over that hold out
                   D7      G7  C
    Ahh, but it's cold outside
