Ethel Waters - Heat Wave lyrics

A heat wave blew right into town last week She came from the island of Martinique The can-can she dances will make you fry The can-can is really the reason why We're having a heat wave, a tropical heat wave The temp'rature's rising, it isn't surprising She certainly can can-can She started the heat wave by letting her seat wave And in such a way that the customers say that She certainly can can-can Gee Her anatomy Made the mercury Jump to ninety-three Yes, sir! We're having a heat wave, a tropical heat wave The way that she moves that thermometer proves that She certainly can can-can (patter:) It's so hot the weather man will tell you a record's been made It's so hot a coat of tan will cover your face in the shade It's so hot the coldest maiden feels just as warm as a bride It's so hot a chicken laid an egg on the street and it fried (alternate lines:) She started the heat wave by letting her feet wave It's so hot a hefty maiden lost twenty pounds from each side
