Jen Lilley & Bryan Lanning Lyrics

"Baby, It's Cold Outside - The 2020 Edition"

I really can't stay (But, baby, it's cold outside)
Stay 6 feet away (But, baby, it's cold outside)
This year has been (Was hoping that you'd drop in)
So very long (I'd hold your hands but it feels so wrong)

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 worry)
Well, maybe just half a drink more (Put some Lysol on while I pour)

The neighbors might think (Baby, it's bad out there)
I'm not distancing (No ubers allowed out there)
I wish I knew how (Your eyes are like starlight now)
To break this spell (I'll take your mask, your smile looks swell)

I ought to say no, no, no, sir (Mind if I move in closer)
At least I'm gonna say that we tried (What's the sense of hurting my pride)
I really can't stay (Baby, don't hold out)
Baby, it's cold outside

I simply must go (Baby, it's cold outside)
The answer is no (Baby, it's cold outside)
Your welcome has been (How lucky that you dropped in)
So nice and warm (Look out the window at those germs)

My sister will be suspicious (Gosh your lips look delicious)
My brother takes my temp at the door (Thermometers don't help anymore)
My maiden aunt's mind is vicious (What is a maiden aunt anyway)
Maybe we'll just binge a show more
(Have you seen Downtown before?)

I got to get home (But, baby, you'd freeze out there)
Say lend me a phone (It's up to your knees out there)
You've really been grand (I thrill when you touch my hand)
But don't you see (How can you quarantine from me)

There's bound to be talk tomorrow (Think of my life long sorrow)
At least there will be plenty implie (If you caught Corona and...)
Oh! Don't even say it!
I really can't stay (Get over that old doubt)
Ah, but it's cold
Baby, it's cold outside!
