Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We met last night making love by the refrigerator light
Ethyl Ethyl let me squeeze you in my arms
Ethyl Ethyl come and freeze me with your charms
One thing
No lie
Ethyl's frigid as an eskimo pie
Well she oughta be 'cause Ethyl's dead
Ethyl Ethyl let me squeeze you in my arms
Ethyl Ethyl come and freeze me with your charms
Come on Cold Ethyl
Freeze me babe
One thing, it's true
Cold Ethyl I am stuck on you
And everything is my way
Ethyl don't have much to say
Ethyl Ethyl let me squeeze you in my arms
Ethyl Ethyl come and freeze me with your charms
Come here Cold Ethyl
What makes you so cold? Ooh so cold
Cold Ethyl
Cold Cold Ethyl
If I live 'til ninety-seven
You'll still be waiting in refrigerator heaven
'Cause you're cool
You're ice
Cold Ethyl
You're my paradise
The song Cold Ethyl by Alice Cooper is about a man’s love for a woman named Ethyl, who is dead and frozen in a refrigerator. The lyrics are filled with dark humor as Cooper sings about his affection for a corpse, and the absurdity of his situation. The song begins with the line “One thing I miss is Cold Ethyl and her skeleton kiss,” setting the tone for the rest of the song. The singer describes meeting Ethyl inside his kitchen where they engage in a sexual encounter, with Ethyl’s dead and frozen body providing the necessary cooling for the act.
The lyrics continue with the singer expressing his love for Ethyl and how much he misses her presence. He describes her as “frigid as an eskimo pie” and “cool in bed,” a reference to the fact that she is literally frozen in the refrigerator. The singer also acknowledges the irony of the situation, stating that Ethyl “oughta be” cool in bed since she is already dead.

Interesting. I like it! I am surprised someone covered that lesser known song of Cooper’s. I will have to check out more of Valery’s work.
