Song lyrics to The Heat is On, Music by Lester Lee, Lyrics by Ned Washington, performed in Miss Sadie Thompson

She taught school in Kansas City, she was cold and rather drab
So, at all the local parties, she was not the one they’d grab
But she read a book and then came the transformation
She announced one night to people’s consternation
The heat is on! The heat is on!
Ya better not get near my lips tonight
I got a kiss to light the flame
And if you touch my lips you might ignite
And you would have yourself to blame

The heat is on! The heat is on!
I wanna know if men are men or mice
Don’t wanna wither on the bough
I might have bored the evening cold as as ice
But I’m a forest fire now

I got an awful lot of oats that haven’t been sewn
They might start a chain reaction and I might explode

The heat is on! The heat is on!
You’re gonna hear the sirens howl tonight
You’re gonna see the building bounce
Because the lady’s on the prowl tonight
And it behoves me to announce
The heat is on!

Let me stipulate that my defences are down
I’m spontaneous combustion in a satin gown

The heat is on! The heat is on!
You’re gonna hear the sirens howl tonight
You’re gonna see the building bounce
Because the lady’s on the prowl tonight
And it behoves me to announce
That the heat is on!
