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 temperature'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 weatherman
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
