TOO DARN HOT
From the show "Kiss Me Kate" (1948)
(Cole Porter)
BIANCA:
It's too darn hot
It's too darn hot
I'd like to sup with my baby tonight
and play the pup with my baby tonight
I'd like to sup with my baby tonight
and play the pup with my baby tonight
but I ain't up to my baby tonight
cause it's too darn hot
It's too darn hot
It's too darn hot
I'd like to stop for my baby tonight
and blow my top with my baby tonight
I'd like to stop with my baby tonight
and blow my top with my baby tonight
but I'd be a flop with my baby tonight
cause it's too darn hot,
it's too darn hot
it's too darn hot
I'd like to fool with my baby tonight
break ev'ry rule with my baby tonight
I'd like to fool with my baby tonight
break ev'ry rule with my baby tonight
but pillow you'll be my baby tonight
cause it's too darn hot
it's too darn hot
*BRIDGE*
According to the Kinsey report
ev'ry average man you know
much prefers to play his favorite sport
when the temperature is low
but when the thermometer goes way up
and the weather is sizzling hot
Mister Adam for his madam is not
cause it's too too
it's too darn hot, it's too darn hot
It's too too too too darn hot
I'd like to call on my baby tongiht
and give my all to my baby tonight
I'd like to call on my baby tongiht
and give my all to my baby tonight
but I can't play ball with my baby tonight
cause it's too darn hot
it's too darn hot
I'd like to meet with my baby tonight
get off my feet with my baby tonight
I'd like to meet with my baby tonight
get off my feet with my baby tonight
but no repeat with my baby tonight
cause it's too darn hot
it's too darn hot
I'd like to coo with my baby tonight
and pitch some woo with my baby tonight
I'd like to coo with my baby tonight
and pitch some woo with my baby tonight
but sister you fight my baby tonight
cause it's too darn hot
it's too darn hot
According to the Kinsey report
ev'ry average man you know
much prefers to play his favorite sport
when the temperature is low
but when the thermometer goes way up
and the weather is sizzling hot
Mister GOB for his squab,
a marine for his queen
a G.I. for his cutie-pie is not
Cause it's too too too darn hot
It's too darn hot
It's too darn hot

TOO DARN HOT
(Alternate Lyrics)
Too darn hot
It's too darn hot
I'd like to sup
With my baby tonight
And fill the cup
With my baby tonight
I'd like to sup with my baby tonight
Fill the cup with my baby tonight
But I ain't up for my baby tonight
Cause it's too darn hot
I'd like to fool
With my baby tonight
And break every rule
With my baby tonight
I'd like to fool with my baby tonight
Break every rule with my baby tonight
But pillow you'll be my baby tonight
Cause it's too darn hot
Accoding to the Kinsey report
Every average guy you know
Much prefers to play his favorite sport
When the temperature is low
But when the thermometer goes way up
And the weather is sizzling hot
Mr. Adam, for his madam, is not
'Cause it's too, too
Too darn hot, yes
It's too darn hot
I'd like to stop for my baby tonight
Blow my top for my baby tonight
But I'd be a flop for my baby tonight
Cause it's too darn hot

TOO DARN HOT
(Another Alternate Version)
It's too darn hot,
it's too darn hot,
I'd like to sup with my baby tonight
and play the pup with my baby tonight
I'd like to sup with my baby tonight
and play the pup with my baby tonight
but I ain't up to my baby tonight
'cause it's too darn hot.
It's too darn hot,
It's too darn hot
I'd like to stop for my baby tonight
and blow my top with my baby tonight
I'd like to stop for my baby tonight
and blow my top with my baby tonight
but I'd be a flop with my baby tonight
'cause it's too darn hot.
It's too darn hot,
It's too darn hot
I'd like to fool with my baby tonight
break every rule with my baby tonight
I'd like to fool with my baby tonight
break every rule with my baby tonight
but, pillow, you'll be my baby tonight
'cause it's too darn hot!
Mr. Gob for his squab,
a marine for his queen,
A G.I. for his cutie-pie is not.
Oh it's too darn hot,
it's too darn hot,
it's too darn hot!
I gotta get the heat down,
gotta get the heat down.
