A heat wave blew right in to town last week,
She came from the Island of Martinique.
The cancan she dances will make you fry,
The cancan is really the reason why

We're having a heat wave
a tropical heat wave.
The temp'rature's rising
it isn't surprising
she certainly can cancan.
She started the heat wave
by letting her seat wave,
and in such a way
that the customers say
that she certainly can cancan.
Gee her anatomy
made the mercury
jump to ninety three.
Yes sir!
We're having a heat wave
a tropical heat wave,
the way that she moves
that thermometer proves
that she certainly can cancan.

We're having a heat wave
a tropical heat wave.
The temp'rature's rising
it isn't surprising
she certainly can cancan.
She started the heat wave
by letting her seat wave,
and in such a way
that the customers say
that she certainly can cancan.
Gee her anatomy
made the mercury
jump to ninety three.
Yes sir!
We're having a heat wave
a tropical heat wave,
the way that she moves
that thermometer proves
that she certainly can cancan.

It's so hot the weatherman
will tell you a record's been made,
It's so hot a coat if tan
will cover your face in the shade,
It's so hot the coldest maiden
feels just as warm as a bride.
It's so hot a chicken laid an egg
on the street and it fried.

We're having a heat wave
a tropical heat wave.
The temp'rature's rising
it isn't surprising
she certainly can cancan.
She started the heat wave
by letting her seat wave,
and in such a way
that the customers say
that she certainly can cancan.
Gee her anatomy
made the mercury
jump to ninety three.
Yes sir!
We're having a heat wave
a tropical heat wave,
the way that she moves
that thermometer proves
that she certainly can cancan.
