January is chilly and nasty in Paris. Just the time for a little bit of fun from the 1949 Esther Williams swim movie, "Neptune's Daughter", in which bathing suit designer Williams must fend off the advances of Latin lothario Ricardo Montalban; co-starring Red Skelton. "Baby, It's Cold Outside" won an Oscar that year for Best Original Song.

Janvier fait froid et déagréable à Paris. Juste le moment pour un peu de divertissement du film 1949 avec la sirène américaine Esther Williams, dans "La Fille de Neptune"; Williams joue un designer de maillots de bain qui doit résister les avances du Lothario Latin Ricardo Montalban; Red Skelton est vedette dans ce film également. "Trésor, Il Fait Froid Dehors" a gagné l'oscar cette année-là pour la meilleure chanson originale.




Baby It's Cold Outside


I really can't stay - Baby it's cold outside
I've got to go away - Baby It's cold out there
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
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 - Put some music 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, sir - Mind if I move a little 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
Ahh, but it's cold outside

C'mon baby

I simply must go - Baby, it's cold outside
The answer is no - Ooh baby, it's cold outside
This welcome has been - I'm lucky that you dropped in
So nice and warm -- Look out the window at that storm
My sister will be suspicious - Man, your lips look so delicious
My brother will be there at the door - Waves upon a tropical shore
My maiden aunt's mind is vicious - Gosh your lips look delicious
Well maybe just a cigarette more - Never such a blizzard before

I've got to go home - Oh, baby, you'll freeze out there
Say, lend me your comb - It's up to your knees out there
You've really been grand - Your eyes are like starlight now
But don't you see - How can you do this thing to me
There's bound to be talk tomorrow - Making 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
Ahh, but it's cold outside
