Lyrics

A heat wave ride into town last week She came from the island of Martini The can-can she dances will make you fry The can-can is really the reason why We're having a heat wave, a tropical heat wave The temprature'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 See her anatomy, made the mercury Jump to ninety three, yes, sir Were having a heat wave, a tropical heat wave The way that she moves that thermometer proves That she certainly can, can-can It's so hot the weather man will tell you A record's been made It's so hot a coat of tan will cover Your face in a shade It's so hot the coldest maiden feel just As warm as a bride It's so hot, a chicken laid an egg On the streets and it's fried We're having a heat wave, a tropical heat wave The temprature'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 See her anatomy, made that mercury Jump to ninety three, yes sir, yeah, man We're having a heat wave, a tropical heat wave The way that she moves that thermometer proves That she certainly can, can-can
