Louis Armstrong - Baby, It's Cold Outside Lyrics
I really can't stay
(But baby, it's cold outside)
I've got to go away
(But baby, it's cold outside)
(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?)
My father will be pacing the floor
(Listen to the fireplace roar)
So really I'd better scurry
But 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)
To break this 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 in hurting my pride?)
I really 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 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
(Ooh, your lips are delicious)
But maybe just a cigarette more
(Never such a blizzard before)
I've 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 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 over that hold out)
Oh, but it's cold outside

Louis Armstrong Baby, It's Cold Outside Comments
This is a great version of this song, so funny without trying, so much left unsaid.
Velma and Louis.
Do you think they got Thelma and Louise from them?
CLASSIC as is...none of the foolish changes... by the hypocrites self-righteous ...
Louis was a "rapist"....who knew. Just shows how far full on petty and absurd our notion of "grievances" are here for some in America.
Play it often !!!!
Ladies and gentlemen, the GREAT Louis Armstrong!
Love this song !!!
hahah great song be 2 great singers
👫 todo much reasoning goés out the Houston when is could outside. 🎆❄️☃
Lol😂🤣😘😍🤩😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Epic😍🤩😍🤩😘😍🤩😘
This has to be one of the filthiest, clean songs in existence! I love it! I first heard it about 15 years ago. Thank you for posting it because I haven't been able to find the live version anywhere.
Classy... YEAAAAA.

C-c-oool
Love this song!
Thanks for the posting. What a beautiful version. MERRY CHRISTMAS
Greatest version ever!!!
So true
I have always thought so, they playfully act, flirt as they enact the roles in the story.
I agree! Playful flirtation, she is playing hard to get and he is enjoying the chase! And their chemistry is amazing!
Better than the remix
Hm 2019
Ultra talented and charming!!! Satchmo was already a welcome legend when I was born a long assed time ago!!!
Before Rudolph!!!
Thanks!!!
What is unfortunate is that it *IS* all in the tone and inflection - this makes it so clear that it is friendly banter and flirtation nothing more :) Pure fun and enjoyment.
Some people aren't happy until they make others around them as MISERABLE/COLD/LONELY as they are aka "Pity Party!"
Subversive assholes! Louis and Velma, you were and always will be the best. Back to those potatoes...
I love this version. Live recordings are the best!
66 people will be left outside
was on the very first cd i bought ca 89 90 with louis armstrong, a cheap sampler that i still have
"You stay here three more days and go on home to your people..." lmao
Nothing wrong with this song, just 2 consenting adults being together.
#metoo brought me here.... This song is classic
Merry Christmas! 2018 and this song is being banned on the radio. One of my all time favorites
I found Louis' Christmas CD and play this thing in my car whenever I durn feel like it, lol. What a sweet man.
BLARE this from the rooftops! Let's show those SJW'S where to go and how to get there!
Merry Christmas
He is a natural comedian and in this song he sounds SO much like the boy from the 9th Ward back home. He is New Orleans' native son and we love him.
Great rendition!!!
Version géniale ! !!!!
She lasted SO long without cracking up. I would have died of laughter in the first minute.
Jacey Jacobs I so wish they’d filmed this! 😎
Louis' opening remark "No potatoes" is a reference to Fats Waller's song "All that Meat and No Potatoes."
Joe Carbery great-thanks!
I think pops had a little too much to drink and smoke.
What a Treat,
this is hilarious lol
So back when I lived in Detroit, there use to be the jazz festival(not sure if they still have it) legit the music I grew on was both classic hip-hop and jazz.
ConorAZ they still do
Avril Lavigne brings me here in 2017 xtmas
You should say whether it's cold .
Got a Louis Armstrong Christmas CD for next to nothing at the Salvation Army, and this was on it. I had to see what Velma looked like. This is so classy. Love playing Louis and other big band goodies in my car.
I imagine Velma and Louis are trying really hard not to burst out laughter, cause this very sweet and charming. Louis voice makes this so fun and all his little quips are perfect in my opinion. Merry Christmas everybody!! ( even though its late august right now.)
Ooohh yyes!!!!!! timeless and also a spontaneous performance of two of the biggest!!! tears and joy in the better way. Don't ask that. Always will be there some body listening this beautiful songs
yes yes yes yes!!!
Satchmo had it going on...still does...rip Louis Armstrong ....this gal so luvs yer music 24/7

Love it! ;-)
My favorite version. It just doesn't get any more genuine.
I love this!
I needed to smile today, and this is just what I needed. <3
Brush this was so cool but I need to give the edge to Louis on this one

I've never heard this song performed with so much swag!

Incredible moment. This is history at its finest. These are the greats I like to think of when I think of American music history.

Anyone watching in 2017? :)
Ryley Manriquez 2018
I LOVE this rendition.
Thank you!
Pure genious
I love the Regrooved version also.
Love it! Take another drink of wine maybe you'll change your mind.
THIS is how it's done, kids!
This seems so wonderfully improv'd. I LOVE IT. THEY SEEM LIKE THEY'RE HAVING A LOT OF FUN.
Alguien podría contarme que se están diciendo? La música es un lenguaje universal para los sentimientos pero aveces necesitamos que nos ayuden un poco
+Nelson Villalba En la canción original son dos personas coqueteando, la mujer dice que se tiene que marchar a su casa y el hombre intenta convencerla de que no se marche. Esta versión es distinta porque hombre se va inventando la letra sobre la marcha convirtiendo las excusas coquetas de la versión original en comentarios graciosillos.
Espero que te haya ayudado.
+Iris Hernández -Muchas gracias Iris, no solo por ser una verdadera somelier y darle mas sabor con tu comentario, sino también por dedicarle tu tiempo.
So glad I found this !!!! EXCELLENT !
WOW!!! WISH I COULD HAVE BEEN THERE!!!!
Micah Victory same and noice pfp btw
This is so fabulous! WOW!
It'd be so fun to know Louis Armstrong
This is great!
This is my favorite version of this song!
+Desirae Schwertel I'm tied between this and the 1949 with June Carter...and Homer and jethro
it is the best versión, no doubt!
THE BEST
The absolute definitive version and a live recording masterpiece. Velma and Louis singing "Baby, It's Cold Outside". The warmth and joy just crackles away through the song.
Which is why I love when people arrange songs and cover... like Moon River. I have about 20 versions! =)
Ray Charles and Betty Carter's version is pretty epic too
Could someone explain the opening line, "No Potatoes"? I guess it's probably a contextual thing, but it's always bugged me what's so funny about that line.
All that meat and no potatoes. Unusually well endowed woman who is clueless.
Ah, I see. Guess that makes sense.
I could be wrong, but I think he was making reference to the song he also sang, "Call the whole thing off."
Love this... man this is a time that will never come again. Makes me cry.
New Orleans Native Son putting it down!! Ya Dig!?!?! lol
Right on
best version
They had so much fun doing this number its a shame there is no video of the whole thing
Can't beat two people being themselves :D I wish I could see them singing this. Louis is my favorite ever.
Thanks i love it
Give it up!,Give it up!,Give it up!
OH LORD TWO ASTONISH SINGER & A WONDERFUL SONG❤️ LOVED IT❤️
This is freaking hilarious. By far the best version!!
Original is always the best. ;)
It's such a marvellous time listening to this song
perfect... just wonderful
realy.. it´s another think... and i love so much this man .. Louis .. great ..
Is there a video version of this? I would love to see how Louis and Velma would have sung it. This version of the song makes me smile every time :)
How could you not love Louis Armstrong! !!!! 💓💓💓
