Lyrics Heat Wave - Patti LuPone, Hollywood Bowl Orchestra, John Mauceri

Heat Wave

Oh, we’re having a heatwave, a tropical heatwave
The temperature’s rising, it isn’t surprising
She certainly can can-can
She started a heatwave by letting her seat wave
In such a way that the customers say
That she certainly can can-can
Gee, gee, her anatomy makes the mercury rise to ninety-three
Having a heatwave, a tropical heatwave, the way that she moves
That thermometer proves that she certainly can
(What's your name honey? Pablo) Certainly can
(Chico, Miguelito, Pablo, Chico, Miguelito) oh, can-can
Pablo, it’s saying here in the weather report
It’s saying a fairly warm air is moving in from (where?) Jamaica
Moderately high air pressure will cover the north-east and (where else?)
The deep south, small danger of (what?) fruit frost
Hot and humid nights can be expected
Vincent ninety-five
Guadeloupe ninety-seven
Santo Domingo ninety-nine
Pardon me?
one-oh-five?
We’re having a heatwave, a tropical heatwave
The temperature’s rising, it isn’t surprising
I certainly can can-can
I started this heatwave in such a way
That the customers say that I certainly can can-can
The man who need makes the mercury rise to ninety-three
We’re having a heatwave, a tropical, a tropical heatwave
The way that I move, that thermometer grooves
She certainly certainly certainly can
I certainly, certainly, certainly can can-can
