Cue Sheet | - OPENER Mainstream
Sides face grand square I really can't stay, (Baby, it's cold outside) I've got to go away, (Baby, it's cold outside) This evening has been, (Been hoping that you'd drop in) So very nice, Allemande and weave (Your hands are cold as ice) My mother will start to worry, (Beautiful, what's your hurry?) My 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)
- FIGURE Basic, corner progression
Heads (sides) promenade (halfway you go) Down the middle square thru (four hands you know) All the way and then, do the right & left thru Veer left, and ferris wheel Centers square thru go 3 hands Swing the corner all promenade I really can't stay, (Baby don't hold out) Ah, but it's cold outside
- MIDDLE BREAK Mainstream
Sides face grand square 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, Allemande and weave (Your hair looks swell) I oughtta say no, no, no sir, (Mind if I move in closer?) At least I'm gonna say that I tried, (What's the sense in hurting my pride) I really can't stay, (Baby, don't hold out) Ah, but it's cold outside

Sides face grand square I've gotta go home, (Baby, you'll freeze out there) Can you lend me your comb? (It's up to your knees out there) You've really been grand, (I thrill when you touch my hand) But can't you see? Allemande and weave (Don't 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) Baby, but it's cold outside

Lyrics |
I really can't stay (Baby it's cold outside)
I gotta go away (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, what's your hurry?)
My 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 (I'll 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 this spell (I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell) (Why thank you)
I ought to say no, no, no sir (Mind if 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)
Baby it's cold outside
Ah, you're very pushy you know?
I like to think of it as opportunistic
I simply must go (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 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 (Gosh your lips are delicious!)
Well maybe just a cigarette more (Never such a blizzard before) (And I don't even smoke)
I've got to get home (Baby you'll freeze out there)
Say lend me a coat? (It's up to your knees out there!)
You've really been grand, (I feel when I touch your hand)
But don't you see? (How can you do this thing to me?)
There's bound to be talk tomorrow (Think of my life long sorrow!)
At least there will be plenty implied (If you caught pneumonia and died!)
I really can't stay (Get over that old out)
Baby it's cold
Baby it's cold outside
Okay fine, just another drink then
That took a lot of convincing!
