The Heat Is On

The Heat Is On - Rita Hayworth/Jose Ferrer

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

The heat is on the heat is on

Ya 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

The heat is on the heat is on

I wanna know if men are men or mice

Don't wanna wither on the bough

I might have bored the evening cold as as ice

But I'm a forest fire now

I got an awful lot of oats

That haven't been sewn

They might start a chain reaction

And I might explode

The heat is on the heat is on

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 behoove me to announce

The heat is on

Let me stipulate that my defenses are down

I'm spontaneous combustion in a satin gown

The heat is on the heat is on

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 behoove me to announce

That the heat is on
