The Heat Is On versuri

The Heat Is On lyrics by Rita Hayworth, Jo Ann Greer

Intro
She taught school in Kansas City
She was cold and rather drab
So, at all the local parties
She was not the one they’d grab
But she read a book and then
Came the transformation
She announced one night
To people’s consternation

Refrain
The heat is on!
The heat is on!

Verse 1
You better not get near my lips tonight
I got a kiss to light the flame
And if you touch my lips you might ignite
And you would have yourself to blame

Refrain
The heat is on!
The heat is on!

Verse 2
I wanna know if men are men or mice
Don’t wanna withеr on the bough
I might have bored thе evening cold as ice
But I’m a forest fire now

Bridge
I got an awful lot of oats that haven’t been sewn
They might start a chain reaction
And I might explode

Refrain
The heat is on!
The heat is on!

Verse 3
You’re gonna hear the sirens howl tonight
You’re gonna see the building bounce
Because the lady’s on the prowl tonight
And it behoves me to announce
The heat is on!

Instrumental Break

Pre-Outro
Let me stipulate that my defences are down
I’m spontaneous combustion in a satin gown

Refrain
The heat is on!
The heat is on!

Outro
You’re gonna hear the sirens howl tonight
You’re gonna see the building bounce
Because the lady’s on the prowl tonight
And it behoves me to announce
That the heat is on!
