Heatwave Songtext
von Ethel Waters

A heatwave 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 reason why

We′re having a heatwave
A tropical heatwave
The temperature's rising
It isn′t surprising
She certainly can, can-can

She started a heatwave
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 93
Yes sir


They're having a heatwave
A tropical heatwave
The way that she moves that
Thermometer proves that
She certainly can, can-can

It's so hot, the 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 a bride
It′s so hot, a chicken
Laid an egg on the street and it fried

We're having a heatwave
A tropical heatwave
The temperature′s rising
It isn't surprising
She certainly can, can-can

She started a heatwave
By letting her seat wave
And in such a way that
The customers say that
She certainly can, can-can


Gee
Her anatomy
Made that mercury
Jump to 93
Yes man!

We′re having a heatwave
A tropical heatwave
The way that she moves that
Thermometer proves that
She certainly can, can-can
