(do do-do do do do-do)
The snow is snowing and the wind is blowing
But I can weather the storm!
What do I care how much it may storm?
For I've got my love to keep me warm
I can't remember a worse December
Oh, what do I care if icicles form?
Oh, I've got my love to keep me warm
Off with my overcoat, off with my glove
I need no overcoat, I'm burning with love!
My heart's on fire, the flame grows higher
So I will weather the storm!
What do I care how much it may storm?
Oh, I've got my love to keep me warm
The snow is snowing, the wind is blowing
But I can weather the storm!
What do I care how much it may storm?
Oh, I've got my love to keep me warm
I can't remember a worse December
Just watch those icicles form!
What do I care if icicles form?
Oh-ho-ho, I've got my love to keep me warm
Off with my overcoat, off with my glove
I need no overcoat, I'm burning with love!
My heart's on fire, the flame grows higher
So I will weather the storm!
What do I care how much it may storm?
Oh, I've got my love to keep me warm

"The last great hit of the Big Band Era." Recorded September 16, 1946.
@sstavsky
I once heard someone suggest that this was the second-to-last Big Band hit, the last being "So Rare" by Jimmy Dorsey. But, of course, that song was a hit in 1957, way beyond the Big Band Era, and it did have a bit of a rock and roll beat.
@jamesmarshall8836
One could make a case for TEA FOR TWO CHA-CHA from 1958 also.
@garymilliken5053
@@jamesmarshall8836 The phrase "Big Band Era" says what's being referred to... if we're talking about any hit after then that used a big band, look at Si Zentner's "Up a Lazy River" from 1961.

Yes, some consider the Big Band Era 1935-1945, others stretch it from 1935-1955. I'm not calling "LOVE TO KEEP ME WARM" the last great hit, I'm quoting someone else.
@elliotsoldies9585
To say that this was the last great hit of the big bands discredits the many successes of Ray Anthony and Ralph Flanagan in the early '50s as well
