The snakes are hanging straight down from the trees |Monkeys are too hot to hunt for fleas|But I feel a breeze all 'round my knees 'cause you look so cool|The sun's a fried egg on a platter|The thermometer is ready to shatter| But my teeth all start to chatter 'cause you look so cool|How do you do it, it just isn't fair |In the perishing heat you're like a breath of fresh air |While everybody's hiding from the heat of the south |At high noon butter wouldn't melt in your mouth|The lazy leopard and the old ocelot would change spots with a Hottentot|But baby I'm all hot to trot 'cause you look so cool|Gators are laid out in the swamp fireflies won't light up their lamp|But my forehead's warm and damp while you look so cool|How do you do it, it just isn't fair |In the perishing heat you're like a breath of fresh air |While everybody's hiding from the heat of the south |At high noon butter wouldn't melt in your mouth|The lazy leopard and the old ocelot would change spots with a Hottentot|But baby I'm all hot to trot 'cause you look so cool|
