Frank Sinatra - Baby It's Cold Outside Lyrics






(I really can't stay) But baby it's cold outside
(Got to go away) But baby it's cold outside
(This evening has been) Been hoping you'd drop in
(So very nice) I'll hold your hands they're just like ice
(My mother will start to worry) Beautiful watch you're wearing
(My father will be pacing the floor) Listen to the fireplace roar
(So really I'd better scurry) Beautiful please don't hurry
(Well maybe just half a drink) Put some records on while I pour
(The neighbors might think) 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 this spell) I'll take your hat your hair looks swell
(I ought to say no no) Mind if I move in closer
(At least I'm going to say I tried) What's the sense of hurting my pride
(I really can't stay) Baby don't hold out
(Both) Baby it's cold outside

(I simply must go) Baby it's cold outside
(The answer is no) Baby it's cold outside
(The welcome has been) How lucky that you dropped in
(So nice and warm) Look out the window at the 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) Gosh your lips are delicious
(But maybe just a cigarette) Never such a blizzard before
(I got to get home) But baby you'd freeze out there
(Say lend me a comb) 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 do this to me
(There's bound to be talk tomorrow) Think of my life long sorrow
(At least they'll be plenty implied) If you caught pneumonia and died
(I really can't stay) Get over that old doubt
(Both) Baby it's cold
(Both) Baby it's cold outside

Frank Sinatra Baby It's Cold Outside Comments
  1. M.... I....

    Great by Frankie & Dorothy. To think that the  Me, Too crowd banned this. Well, it's backand greater than ever.

  2. A.... S....

    I wish I have a man like Frank Sinatra.
    '40s were the best !

  3. B.... 0....

    Very nice, luv the tune🎶🎶💋🎄🌃Dean Martin got one of the best version 🤷

  4. J.... R....

    SO FUNNY NOW THIS SONG IS NOW CALLED TOO RACY...GIVE IT A REST YOU POLITICAL CORRECT NUTS.... I THINK THE ESTHER WILLIAMS..RICARDO MONTALBON VERSION FROM "NEPTUNES DAUGHTER" IS STILL THE BEST VERSION...

  5. T.... m....

    How is this date rape ?????? Please explain

  6. p.... ....

    I know feminists think this is a date rape song. I don't like it for my own reasons. I refuse to play cat & mouse games with women who expect men to make all the overtures. It's very frustrating.

    p.... ....

    You do realize this was written in the 1940s? When this song was written, a woman could NOT make the first move without being labeled a slut. Examining the lyrics under a modern microscope you may as well object to Jingle Bells because who dashes anywhere in a horse drawn sleigh, totally irrelevant lyrics. Oh wait, it’s still a fun song to sing today you say? In the parlance of the 1940s, people need to get wise to themselves and lighten up.😊

    p.... ....

    @Angela Messino I know how different things were in the past. There still are expectations put on men to be the initiators, whether or not people want to acknowledge that fact.

    p.... ....

    prschuster People of both sexes approach courting differently. Some men are more tentative than some women and vice versa. If the attraction is there, they’ll figure it out. I was never going to make the initial first move, it’s not the way I was raised. If a guy I was with was uncomfortable with that, then we weren’t meant to be together. Fortunately, my hubby figured it out and we’ve been happily together for many years.

    p.... ....

    @Angela Messino I like assertive women who say what they want.

  7. M.... B....

    Really love this song !!

  8. D.... W....

    People who find this offensive are only showing their ignorance in the meaning of the words spoken during the time the song was written, as well as who wrote and performed it originally!

  9. N.... 0....

    This song needs to removed because its about date rape and I'm very offended.

  10. M.... M....

    A star Metropolitan Opera Soprano who is TERIFFIC singing popular music!

  11. J.... ....

    Daa metzer unpootka bullshitsta in me 2 kaput ✌👏🖒🐴🐴🐎🐎

  12. D.... A....

    May I add FUCK Political Correctness. Frank Sinatra persuaded his girl to stay and they woke up together! Deal with it.

  13. R.... B....

    Fuck SJW’s
    Fuck PC culture
    and Fuck John legend
    This song was perfect the way it was

  14. J.... M....

    Better then the new one

  15. I.... K....

    @Jubill tak masz rację , pozdrawiam

    I.... K....

    @IT Klasyka w perle tak majz racism pozdraeiam to englis

  16. J.... M....

    How this song could ever be about sexual abuse is completely beyond me but I suppose that's the age we live in now if you try to invite an attractive woman into your home to avoid the snow or ask them if they would like to go for a hot chocolate with you then you are at risk of being accused of harassment. The world is a mad place lol. Does anyone know where I can find a decent copy of Dean Martin and Nancy Sinatra singing this song? I have searches high and wide for it yet cannot find it. Perhaps that version is a complete figment of my imagination but if anyone can direct me towards it I would be forever grateful:-)

    J.... M....

    The very end where he mentions locking the door and swallowing the key is the only part that seems kind of problematic. But honestly I think it's funny, but people just like to be offended

    J.... M....

    Jake, I think it is a whim (albeita a good one!). If it were anywhere it would be on the Dean Martin special from '68, where Frank & family joined him! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bf_hHU1Yu7o. If I'm wrong....well, good luck!

    J.... M....

    @Lou Armagno thanks Lou :-)

  17. S.... H....

    Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff

  18. L.... E....

    I've never heard this version before. I love Frank Sinatra's Christmas music.

  19. z.... s....

    Ray Charles rendition is way more beautiful.

  20. M.... A....

    Omg, this beautiful ♡.

  21. c.... y....

    I really can't stay
    But baby you forgot your passport!!!!!!

  22. i.... ....

    *no matter how many years pass, i will always love this song.👯💖*

  23. E.... O....

    Assholes who banned this song in four states Get a life me too"s

  24. w.... ....

    Wonderful version. I think that the feminist failed on the fight with this song.

  25. w.... ....

    Everyone blast this in their cars

  26. R.... A....

    I really can't stay (Baby it's cold outside)
    I gotta go away (Baby it's cold outside)
    This evening has been (Been hoping that you'd dropped 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?)
    My father will be pacing the floor (Listen to the fireplace roar)
    So really I'd better scurry (Beautiful please don't hurry)
    Well maybe just a half a drink more (I'll put some records on while I pour)
    The neighbors might think (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 this spell (I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell) (Why thank you)
    I ought to say no, no, no sir (Mind if move in closer?)
    At least I'm gonna say that I tried (What's the sense of hurtin' my pride?)
    I really can't stay (Baby don't hold out)
    Baby it's cold outside
    Ah, you're very pushy you know?
    I like to think of it as opportunistic
    I simply must go (Baby it's cold outside)
    The answer is no (But baby it's cold outside)
    The 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 (Gosh your lips are delicious!)
    Well maybe just a cigarette more (Never such a blizzard before) (And I don't even smoke)
    I've got to get home (Baby you'll freeze out there)
    Say lend me a coat? (It's up to your knees out there!)
    You've really been grand, (I feel when I touch your 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 over that old out)
    Baby it's cold
    Baby it's cold outside
    Okay fine, just another drink then
    That took a lot of convincing!

  27. D.... F....

    Sounds like the R word to me.......shut it down now!

  28. R.... ....

    LOVE this song and this version ❣️

  29. C.... L....

    New favourite song :)

  30. A.... B....

    Have a merry Christmas MAGA

  31. J.... C....

    It's cold outside. Im going in to be warm with my wife

    J.... C....

    Wicked awesome comment. Best comment! I will also be next to my woman on this cold night. Exactly what the song is talking about. Thank you sir

  32. H.... I....

    People thinking the song should be banned probably don’t even know Sinatra locked the door as well. 😂 Brilliant song!

  33. o.... ....

    Anyone know what she says after he says "I swallowed the key" at the end?.. "You're a ..." somethingerother ???

    o.... ....

    originalVG She says "You're a villain"
    and he answers, "But you're so thrilling." They should have used "but you're so willing" in answer but they couldn't at this time -- they'd have been censored for implying the woman had loose morals. That's really what this song is about, two people who want to have sex but they have to go through this charming little vocal dance to protect the woman's reputation. This whole kerfuffle over the song's meaning is really dumb!

  34. N.... d....

    Beautiful song. If they want to ban songs they can ban the ones who call women bitches, let's start there instead of banning an old beautiful song.

  35. R.... M....

    Baby it’s Mother Nature & Human Nature workin together!

  36. A.... R....

    Good song ! People need to grow up if this offends them !

  37. K.... C....

    song leans on fornication ...

    K.... C....

    Ghastly behaviour if I may so myself.

  38. S.... M....

    I think this will be the most popular song of the season this year. LOL

    S.... M....

    Sandra McWilliams I've always loved it.

    S.... M....

    Playing it everyday!Merry Christmas!

    S.... M....

    It's my new ring tone

    S.... M....

    Love frank!!! Long live frank!!! Nothing wrong with this. It's a song boys and girls. There's a lot worse out there

    S.... M....

    We can only hope😲✌

  39. �.... P....

    So why the fuck liberals not ok with this?

  40. A.... B....

    Bill Cosby’s theme song !

  41. s.... ....

    Feminists cringe and poop their pants when they hear this. Wonderful version of this song!

    s.... ....

    They hate what they ain‘t get 😉

    s.... ....

    To be fair there are a few rapey lyrics
    but hell
    This is a classic

    s.... ....

    @James Peterson It's definitely seductiony.

    s.... ....

    ok boomer

  42. T.... M....

    Dean Martin

  43. Y.... P....

    God, I love Bill Cosby's theme song

  44. V.... D....

    As a person who lives in Miami, FL iv been saying 🎶 I wish It was cold outside🎶🌡☉🔥

    V.... D....

    As a person who lives in the north of England, I wish it wasn’t cold outside.

  45. K.... A....

    SUPER VIDEO AUSGEZEICHNET GESANG BRAVO

  46. T.... G....

    Frank Sinatra is awesome!

  47. M.... H....

    Great recording, not so great graphics

    M.... H....

    Sorry you don't like them, it took me quite a while to make them and most people enjoyed them but to each his own. You are entitled to your opinion.

    M.... H....

    Very sorry I sounded unkind I just don't get why you connect other artists to a vocal track which is not theirs(?) I appreciate your efforts but just don't see the relevance! Thank you for your comments

    M.... H....

    I am a huge Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy fans and as I noted in my write up, "I've accompanied this version with graphics of Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy. Kirsten was the radio partner of Eddy on the Electric Hour in the late 1940s and round this time Jeanette MacDonald was asked by a fan club questionnaire which modern song she'd like to record with Nelson Eddy, she responded "Baby It's Cold Outside". That's the connection so it has relevance for me.

    M.... H....

    Angela Messino that's pretty cool

  48. T.... .....

    1949 is when the first recordings of the song were released. It was included in the film, Neptune's Daughter in two versions by Ricardo Montalban and Esther Wiliams and Betty Garrett and Red Skelton. In the Garret version she sings the Sinatra part. Lots of other recordings and performances happened that year and many since then.

    T.... .....

    That's it, was looking for the movie in which I've heard this. thx

    T.... .....

    Thomas .Hennessey  Betty Garrett! That's right! Speaking of her, remember her in "On the Town", when Frank Sinatra was the young sailor and she was the cab driver? She was aggressive in that one, too. "Come up to my place" was the consistent and insistent line of the song, and finally, she gets him up there. Talk about your date rape and coercion! Why is that OK, but the cows have a cow about this song?

    I really can't stay - Baby it's cold outside

    I've got to go away - 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?

    Father will be pacing the floor - Listen to the fireplace roar

    So really I'd better scurry - Beautiful, please don't hurry

    Maybe just a half a drink more - Put some records on while I pour



    The neighbors might think - 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 this spell - I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell



    I ought to say no, no, no - Mind if I move in closer?

    At least I'm gonna say that I tried - What's the sense in hurting my pride?

    I really can't stay - Baby don't hold out

    Ah, but it's cold outside

  50. R.... S....

    1:16 scared the shit outta me lol.😁

    R.... S....

    Hahahaha

  51. K.... H....

    The TV version on the Jazz Channel identifies a Sinatra version, when it's actually Ray Charles and Betty Carter

    K.... H....

    Doesn’t sound like either Sinatra or Kirsten. Maybe the recording?? Great pix though of N and J.

  52. A.... G....

    I love this song

  53. E.... ....

    Elegant and joyful simultaneously!

  54. B.... R....

    Rip Frank, He was such a good singer. Would of been 100-101 if he was still alive, Would of loved to have met him.

  55. S.... P....

    I prefer thier voices together more than any other version.

    S.... P....

    I quite like seth mcfarlane's version to be honest!

    S.... P....

    Erin Quinlan Me too

    S.... P....

    To be honest, yes.

  56. s.... ....

    Beautiful photos of Nelson Eddy and Jeanette Macdonald

  57. L.... T....

    FABULOUS, Angela.  Perfect; love everything about this except Dorothy Kirsten's voice......definitely should have been Nelson and Jeanette.  Great job!!!

    L.... T....

    +Lynda Tucker Thanks Lynda, glad you enjoyed it. It's a real crime they didn't record it, Jeanette was right, it would have been adorable!
