Turn on the heat, start in to strut
Wiggle and wobble, and steam up the hut
Oh, oh, it's thirty below

Turn on the heat, fifty degrees
Get hot for Mama/Papa, or Mama/Papa will freeze
Oh, oh, start meltin' the snow

If you are good, my little radiator
It's understood, you'll get a gumdrop later

Oh, turn on the heat, pour in the oil
Start in to bubble and come to a boil
You put the burn on for Mama/Papa, and turn on the heat
