Heat Wave
(Announcer - spoken)
And now, presenting the red hot duo, Ted Hanover and Lila Dixon!

(Ted)
A heatwave blew right in from 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.

(Lila)
We're having a heatwave, a tropical heatwave.
The temperature's rising it isn't surprising
she certainly can can-can.

(Ted & Female dancers)

She started the heatwave (Oh, she started the heatwave)
by letting her seat wave. (Just by letting her seat wave,)
And in such a way that the customers say that she certainly can can-can.

*dance break*

(Male Ensemble)
Gee!
Her anatomy
Made the Mercury
Jump to ninety-three.
(Ted & Lily)
Yes, we're having a heatwave, a tropical heatwave.
The way that she moves That thermometer proves that
she certainly can-can.

We're having a heatwave, a tropical heatwave.

(Male Ensemble)

(Ensemble)
In such a way that the customer says that the temperature's rising it isn't surprising.

(All)
She certainly, certainly, certainly, certainly, certainly can.
Can-Can.
