Heat Wave - Ethel Waters
A heat wave ride into town last week
She came from the island of Martini
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 temprature'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
See her anatomy made the mercury
Jump to ninety three yes sir
Were having a heat wave
A tropical heat wave
The way that she moves
That thermometer proves
That she certainly can can-can
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 a shade
It's so hot the coldest maiden feel just
As warm as a bride
It's so hot a chicken laid an egg
On the streets and it's fried
We're having a heat wave a tropical heat wave
The temprature'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
See her anatomy made that mercury
Jump to ninety three yeah man
We're having a heat wave
A tropical heat wave
The way that she moves
That thermometer proves
That she certainly can can-can
