Heat Wave by Irving Berlin Lyrics

(Verse)
A heat wave was riding through town last week
She came from the island of Martinique
The can-can she dances will make you cry
The can-can is really the reason why

(Chorus)
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 a 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
Makes the mercury
Jump to ninety-three
We're having a heat wave
A tropical heat wave
The way that she moves
That thermometer proves
That she certainly can can-can
