about

The lyrics in this duet are designed to be heard as a conversation between two people, marked as "mouse" and "wolf" on the printed score; they have returned to the wolf's home after a date, and the mouse decides it is time to go home, but the wolf flirtatiously invites them to stay as it is late and "it's cold outside". The mouse wants to stay and enjoy themselves, but feels obligated to return home, worried what family and neighbours will think if they stay. Every line in the song features a statement from the mouse followed by a response from the wolf. Although the two roles in the duet are often considered to be gender-specific, with the wolf being male and the mouse being female, in the original theatrical release in 1948, there were versions of the song with these roles reversed.
