IT'S TOO HOT FOR WORDS
Leonard Whitcup / Powell / Samuels

as rec by Billie Holiday w Teddy Wilson & his Orch  
July 31st 1935 New York


It's too hot for words,
Why bother with conversation?
Don't let's talk
Or even walk,
If you wanna make love, okay!

It's too hot for words,
There's nothing like relaxation;
Can't endure
This temperature,
If you wanna make love, okay!

Let's find a cosy nook
Beside a babblin' brook;
Let's find a shady tree,
Let the lovebirds talk for you and me;

'Cause it's much too hot for words,
Why bother with conversation?
Goodness knows
My eyes are closed,
All I dare to say,
All I care to say,
It's too hot for words!
