Enjoy!<\/p>\n

Lady, It’s Warm Outside<\/strong>
\nsung to the tune of “Baby, It’s Cold Outside”<\/p>\n

(With apologies to Cee-Lo Green, Christina Aguilera, and the many artists who have performed this seasonal classic duet…)<\/p>\n

You venomous toad<\/p>\n

Lady, it\u2019s warm outside<\/p>\n

Hey, just hit the road<\/p>\n

Metaphorically warm outside<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been left to lament<\/p>\n

The winter of discontent<\/p>\n

And I\u2019m concerned<\/p>\n

To glorious summer has turned<\/p>\n

You\u2019re a pitiless beast<\/p>\n

Beautiful, that\u2019s something at least<\/p>\n

Give me leave to curse thyself<\/p>\n

I feel even worse myself<\/p>\n

And now I accuse thyself<\/p>\n

Beautiful, I can\u2019t excuse myself<\/p>\n

May lightning strike you dead<\/p>\n

These compliments will go to my head<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

My husband has died<\/p>\n

Lady, not by my hand<\/p>\n

But your regicide<\/p>\n

That was not what I planned<\/p>\n

You should be locked in a fetter<\/p>\n

I know one place better<\/p>\n

As I have said<\/p>\n

It is beside you in your bed<\/p>\n

I ought to say no, no, no, sir<\/p>\n

Mind if I move in closer<\/p>\n

Cursed be your future wife<\/p>\n

Lady, I want it to be you in my life<\/p>\n

I really can\u2019t stay<\/p>\n

Now, Lady, don\u2019t storm out<\/p>\n

\u2018Cause it\u2019s warm outside<\/center><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Now this king is dead<\/p>\n

Your beauty gave me pause<\/p>\n

And you killed my Ed<\/p>\n

Your beauty was the cause<\/p>\n

If I thought that<\/p>\n

It really knocks me flat<\/p>\n

My nails would rend<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t even start to pretend<\/p>\n

My sister will disown me<\/p>\n

Lady, have you ever really known me<\/p>\n

My father will spin in his grave<\/p>\n

In life, he was far more brave<\/p>\n

It will dishonor my husband\u2019s life<\/p>\n

A better husband for his wife<\/p>\n

I really don\u2019t know what to say<\/p>\n

You\u2019ve nowhere else to go anyway<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

You deserve your reward<\/p>\n

Lady, if you think it best<\/p>\n

Say, lend me your sword<\/p>\n

Drive it right through my chest<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not in me to kill<\/p>\n

Say the word and I will<\/p>\n

I have already said<\/p>\n

In your rage, but now you have a clearer head<\/p>\n

I wish I knew your heart<\/p>\n

I will inter this king<\/p>\n

You lied to me right from the start<\/p>\n

Vouchsafe to wear this ring<\/p>\n

I\u2019m glad you have repented<\/p>\n

I\u2019m glad you have relented<\/p>\n
