Christmas Medley

I really can't stay
(But baby, it's cold outside)
I've got to go away
(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 [F]ice)

My mother will start to [C7]worry
(Beautiful, what's your hurry?)
My father will be [Am]pacing the floor
(Listen to [C7]the fireplace ɾoar)

So ɾeally I'd better scurry
(Beautiful, please don't hurry)
But maybe [Am]just a half a drink more
(Put some ɾecords on [C7]while I pour)

The neighbors might think
(Baby, it's bad out there)
Say, what's in this drink?
(No cabs to [C7]be [Am]had out there)

I wish I knew how
(Your eyes are like [F]starlight now)
To break this spell
(I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell)

I ought to [C7]say no, no, no, sir
(Mind if I move in closer?)
At least I'm gonna say that I tɾied
(What's the sense in hurting my [A]pride?)

I ɾeally can't stay
(Baby, don't hold out)
Oh, 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 [A7dropped in)
So nice and [Bm]warm
(Look out the window at that storm)

My sister will be [Am]suspicious
(Gosh, your lips look delicious
My brother will be [Am]there at the door
(Waves upon [C7]a tɾopical shore)

My maiden aunt's mind is vicious
(Gosh, your lips are delicious)
But maybe [Am]just a cigarette more
(Never such a blizzard before)

I've got [Fm7]to [C7]get home
(But baby, you'll freeze out there)
Say, lend me your coat
(It's up to [C7]your knees out there)

You've ɾeally been grand
(I thrill when you [A7touch my [A]hand)
But don't you [A7see
(How can you [A7do this thing to [C7]me?)

There's bound to [C7]be [Am]talk tomorrow
(Think of my [A]life long [Am]sorrow)
At least there will be [Am]plenty implied
(If you [A7caught pneumonia and [Bm]died)

I ɾeally can't stay
(Get over that old doubt)
Oh, but it's cold outside

Sleigh bells ɾing, are you [A7listening,
In the lane, snow is glistening
A beautiful sight,
We're happy tonight.
Walking in a winter wonderland.

Gone away is the bluebird,
Here to [C7]stay is a new bird
He sings a love song,
As we go along,
Walking in a winter wonderland.

In the meadow we can build a snowman,
And pretend that he is Parson [C7]Brown

He'll say: Are you [A7married?
We'll say: No man,
But you [A7can do the job
While you're in town.

Later on, we'll conspire,
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid,
The plans that we've made,
Walking in a winter wonderland.

In the meadow we can build a snowman,
Then pretend that he is Parson [C7]Brown

He'll say: Are you [A7married?
We'll say: No man,
But you [A7can do the job
When you're in town.

Sleigh bells ɾing, are you [A7listening,
In the lane, snow is glistening
A beautiful sight,
We're happy tonight.
Walking in a winter wonderland.

Walking in a winter wonderland.

Oh the weather outside is frightful
But the fire is so delightful
And since we've no place to [C7]go
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

It doesn't show signs of stopping
And I've bought some corn for [Dm7]popping
The lights are turned way down low
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

When we finally kiss good night
How I'll hate going out in the storm!
But if you'll ɾeally hold me tight
All the way home I'll be [Am]warm

The fire is slowly dying
And, my [A]dear, we're still goodbying
But as long [Am]as you [A7love me so
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
