We're having a Heat Wave,
A tropical Heat Wave.
The temp'rature's rising,
It isn't surprising.

She certainly can, can-can.
She started the 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, 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, can-can.
