"Baby, It's Cold Outside" 2020 Edition

By David Himmel

She: I really can't stay

He: But baby it's cold outside

She: Got to go away

He: But baby it's cold outside

She: This evening has been

He: Been hoping you'd drop in

She: So very nice

He: I'll hold your hands they're just like ice

She: My mother will start to worry

He: Beautiful watch you're wearing

She: My father will be pacing the floor—Wait, what about my watch?

He: Listen to the fireplace roar

She: No. This isn’t about the fireplace. Look, really, I'd better scurry

He: Okay. That’s fair. Text me tomorrow. I’ll get you a Lyft.

She: I can get my own. Thanks for a fun night. See you soon.

This is just as funny as anything on McSweeney’s. And just as righteously clever!
