It’s too darn hot. It’s too darn hot

I’d like to sup with my baby tonight
Refill the cup with my baby tonight
I’d like to sup with my baby tonight
Refill the cup 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 for my baby tonight
I’d like to stop for my baby tonight
And blow my top for 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

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 too too darn hot
It’s too darn hot. It’s too darn hot

I’d like to call on my baby tonight
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. It’s too darn hot

I’d like to coo with my baby tonight
And pitch the woo with my baby tonight
I’d like to coo with my baby tonight
And pitch the 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 his lovey dovey to court
when the temperature is low
but when the thermometer goes way up
and the weather is sizzling hot
Mister pants for romance is not
Cause it’s too too 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. 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. It’s too darn hot

According to the Kinsey report
ev’ry average man you know
much prefers his lovey dovey to court
when the temperature is low
but when the thermometer goes way up
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
