A heat wave blew into town last week

She came from the island of Martinique

The can-can, she dances will make you fry

The can-can is really the reason why

It isn't surprising

And in such a way that

The customers say that

Makes the mercury

Yes sir

It's so hot, weatherman will tell you

A record's been made

It's so hot, a coat of tan

Will cover your face in the shade

It's so hot, the coldest maiden

Feels just as warm as the bride

It's so hot, a chicken laid an egg on the street

And it fried

It isn't surprisin'

And in such a way

That the customers say that

Makes that mercury

That's hot man

Yes, she certainly can can-can

Oh, she certainly can can-can
