Additional Lyrics:
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 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 call on my baby tonight,
And give my all to my baby tonight,
I’d like to call on my baby tonight,
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 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.
