Heat Wave Lyrics

A heat wave blew 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 havin' a heat wave
Tropical heat wave
The temperature's risin'
It isn't surprising
She certainly can, can, can

She started a heat wave
By lettin' her feet wave
And in such a way that
The customers say that
She certainly can, can, can

Gee, her anatomy
Makes the mercury
Jump up to ninety-three
Yes sir

We're havin' a heat wave
Tropical heat wave
The way that she moves that
Thermometer proves that
She certainly can, can, can

It's so hot, 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 the bride
It's so hot, a chicken laid an egg on the street
And it fried

We're havin' a heat wave
A tropical heat wave
The temperature's risin'
It isn't surprisin'
She certainly can, can, can

She started a heat wave
By lettin' her feet wave
And in such a way
That the customers say that
She certainly can, can, can

Gee, her anatomy
Makes that mercury
Jump up to ninety-three
That's hot man

We're havin' a heat wave
A tropical heat wave
The way that she moves that
Thermometer proves that
She certainly can, can, can

Yes, she certainly can, can, can
Oh, she certainly can, can, can
