Heatwave
A heat wave blew right into town last weekShe came from the island of MartiniqueThe can-can she dances will make you fryThe can-can is really the reason whyWe're having a heat wave, a tropical heat waveThe temp'rature's rising, it isn't surprisingShe certainly can can-canShe started the heat wave by letting her seat waveAnd in such a way that the customers say thatShe certainly can can-canGeeHer anatomyMade the mercuryJump to ninety-threeYes, sir!We're having a heat wave, a tropical heat waveThe way that she moves that thermometer proves thatShe certainly can can-can[patter:]It's so hot the weather man will tell you a record's been madeIt's so hot a coat of tan will cover your face in the shadeLetras de cancionesIt's so hot the coldest maiden feels just as warm as a brideIt'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 waveIt's so hot a hefty maiden lost twenty pounds from each side
