[Bette:] I
really can't stay
[James:] But
baby, it's cold outside.
[B:] I got to
go 'way.
[J:] But
baby, it's cold outside.
[B:] This
evening has been
[J:] Been
hopin' that you'd drop in.
[B:] so very
nice.
[J:] I'll
hold your hands, they're just like ice.
[B:] My
mother will start to worry.
[J:]
Beautiful, what's your hurry?
[B:] My father
will be pacing the floor.
[J:] Listen
to that fireplace roar.
[B:] So
really I'd better scurry.
[J:]
Beautiful, please don't hurry.
[B:] Well,
maybe just a half a drink more.
[J:] Put some
records on while I pour.
[B:] You know
the neighbors might think.
[J:] But
baby, it's bad out there.
[B:] Er,
what's in this drink?
[J:] No cabs
to be had out there.
[B:] I wish I
knew how
[J:] Your
eyes are like starlight now.
[B:] to break
this spell.
[J:] I'll
take your hat, your hair looks swell.
[B:] I ought
to say no, no, no sir.
[J:] Mind if
I move in closer?
[B:] At least
I'm gonna say that I tried.
[J:] What's
the sense in hurtin' my pride?
[B:] I really
can't stay,
[J:] Baby,
don't hold out.
[B:] ah, but
it's cold outside.
[J:] Baby,
it's cold outside.
[B:] Ah, but
it's cold outside.
[J:] Baby,
it's cold outside.
