Heat Wave
Ella Fitzgerald · Royal Roost Sessions 1948-49 [1993]
We are having a heat wave
A tropical heat wave
The temperature's rising, it isn't surprising
She certainly can can-can
She started the heat wave
By letting her seat wave
And in such a way that the customers say
That she certainly can can-can
Gee, her anatomy
May the mercury jump to ninety-three
Yes, sir, we're having a heat wave
A tropical heat wave
The way that she moves that thermometer proves
That she certainly can can-can
Gee, her anatomy
May the mercury jump to ninety-three
Yes, sir, we're having a heat wave
A tropical heat wave
The way that she moves that thermometer proves
That she certainly can can-can
Ooh, we're having a heat wave
Ooh, how she moves, thermometer proves
She certainly can can-can
A tropical heat wave
The temperature's rising, it isn't surprising
She certainly can can-can
She started the heat wave
By letting her seat wave
And in such a way that the customers say
That she certainly can can-can
Gee, her anatomy
May the mercury jump to ninety-three
Yes, sir, we're having a heat wave
A tropical heat wave
The way that she moves that thermometer proves
That she certainly can can-can
Gee, her anatomy
May the mercury jump to ninety-three
Yes, sir, we're having a heat wave
A tropical heat wave
The way that she moves that thermometer proves
That she certainly can can-can
Ooh, we're having a heat wave
Ooh, how she moves, thermometer proves
She certainly can can-can
