Heat Wave Songtext
von Bing Crosby

A heat wave blew 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 havin' a heat wave
Tropical heat wave
The temperature′s risin'
It isn't surprising
She certainly can can-can

She started a heat wave
By lettin′ her feet wave
And in such a way that
The customers say that
She certainly can can-can

Gee, her anatomy
Makes the mercury
Jump up to ninety-three
Yes sir


We′re havin' a heat wave
Tropical heat wave
The way that she moves that
Thermometer proves that
She certainly can can-can

It′s so hot, weatherman 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 the bride
It′s so hot, a chicken laid an egg on the street
And it fried

We're havin' a heat wave
A tropical heat wave
The temperature′s risin′
It isn't surprisin′
She certainly can can-can

She started a heat wave
By lettin' her feet wave
And in such a way
That the customers say that
She certainly can can-can


Gee, her anatomy
Makes that mercury
Jump up to ninety-three
That′s hot man

We're havin′ a heat wave
A tropical heat wave
The way that she moves that
Thermometer proves that
She certainly can can-can

Yes, she certainly can can-can
Oh, she certainly can can-can
