Joanie Sommers

Joanie Sommers (born Joan Drost, Buffalo, New York, February 24, 1941), is an American singer and actress with a long career of jazz, standards and popular material and show-business credits. Once billed as "The Voice of the Sixties", and associated with top-notch arrangers, song-writers and producers, Sommers' conception nevertheless became inexorably tied to her biggest, yet most uncharacteristic, hit song "Johnny Get Angry." more »

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 hoping 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 words you're humming 
And father will be pacing the floor - Listen to the 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 - But 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 hairs looks swell 

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 - Oh baby don't hold out 
Ah but it's cold outside - Baby it's cold outside 

I simply must go - But baby it's cold outside 
The answer is no -But baby it's cold outside 
The welcome has been - How lucky that you dropped in 
So nice and warm - Look out that window at that storm 

My sister will be suspicious - God your lips look delicious 
My brother will be there at the door - Waves upon a tropical shore 
My maiden aunt's mind is vicious - Gosh your lips are delicious 
Well, maybe just a cigarette more -Never such a blizzard before 

I got to get home - But baby you'd freeze out there 
Say, lend me a coat - It's up to your knees out there 
You've really been grand - I'm thrilled when you touch my hand 
Why 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 over that hold-out 
Ah but it's cold outside - Ah but it's cold outside 

Where could you be going 
When the wind is blowing 
And it's cold outside? 

Baby it's cold, cold outside
