The Heat Is On

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!
