Elf Soundtrack - Baby, It's Cold Outside With Zooe

[zooey deschanel - (leon redbone)]



I really can't stay - (But baby it's cold outside)

I've got to go 'way - (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, what's your hurry?)

And father will be pacing the floor - (Listen to that 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 hair 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 - (Baby don't hold out)



(Both)

Ah, but it's cold outside



I simply must go - (But baby it's cold outside)

The answer is no - (But baby it's cold outside)

This 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 - (Boy, your lips look delicious!)

Well maybe just a cigarette more - (Never such a blizzard before)

I got to get home - (But, baby you'll freeze out there)

Say, lend me your coat - (It's up to your knees out there)

You've really been grand - (I'll thrill when you touch my 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 rid of that hold out)



(Both)

Ah, but it's cold outside
