From the soundtrack of "Elf"
Baby, Itâ??s Cold Outside
(Frank Loesser)
From â??Neptuneâ??s Daughterâ??(MGM, 1948) â??
with Esther Williams, Ricardo Montalban, Red Skelton, and Mel Blanc.
There's bound to be talk tomorrow,- Making my life long sorrow
At least there will be plenty implied - If you caught pneumonia and died.
I really can't stay - Get over that old out
OH, BUT ITâ??S COLD OUTSIDE!
Note the pre-Gricean use of 'plenty implied' (qua conversational
implicature).
Cheers,
JL
