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
