Heat Wave lyrics

A heat wave blew 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 the reason why

We're having a heat wave

A tropical heat wave

The temp'rature'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

Gee, her anatomy

Made the mercury

Jump to ninety-three

Yes, sir!

We're 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 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 heat wave

A tropical heat wave

The temp'rature'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

Gee, her anatomy

Made the mercury

Jump to ninety-three

Yes, sir!

We're having a heat wave

A tropical heat wave

The way that she moves that thermometer proves that

She certainly can can-can
