"Baby, It's Cold Outside" 2020 Edition
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!
