| I’m gonna tell you, folks, all about | 
| A certain red-hot gal; | 
| She runs an institute in the South | 
| For all her polar pals; | 
| She teaches papas who treat her cool, | 
| They’re always hot when they leave her school; | 
| But she’s got a secret she won’t let out, | 
| But I just heard her shout: | 
| Refrigeratin' papa, Mama’s gonna make you hot, | 
| Yes, make you hot! | 
| Refrigeratin' papa, heat is something you ain’t got, | 
| No, you ain’t got! | 
| A red-hot papa’s nice and warm, | 
| But cold ones don’t run true to form; | 
| I always make a papa what he’s got, | 
| I change a frigid papa to a hottentot! | 
| Refrigeratin' papa, Mama’s gonna warm you up! | 
| Yes, warm you up! | 
| 'Cause when it comes to lovin', | 
| I win most every lovin' cup, | 
| For lovin' up; | 
| I had a papa once so cold he nearly froze, | 
| But Mama made him holler, «Please, burn up my clothes!» | 
| Refrigeratin' papa, Mama’s gonna make you hot! | 
| Refrigeratin' papa, Mama’s gonna make you hot! | 
| Yes, make you hot! | 
| Refrigeratin' papa, heat is what I like a lot! | 
| Yes, like a lot! | 
| I’m gonna teach you from the start, | 
| That you can’t trifle with my heart; | 
| You’ll have to learn the fundamental facts, | 
| Or else your mama’s gonna pile you up in stacks. | 
| Refrigeratin' papa, Mama’s gonna warm you up! | 
| Yes, warm you up! | 
| 'Cause when it comes to lovin', | 
| I win most every lovin' cup, | 
| For lovin' up; | 
| I hate the kind of man who always aggravates, | 
| I make their hearts of stone begin to palpitate! | 
| Refrigeratin' papa, Mama’s gonna make you hot! | 
| Red hot! |
