Lyrics
I got (clang) (clang) S-S-S-Steam Heat
I got (clang) (clang) S-S-S-Steam Heat
I got (clang) (clang) S-S-S-Steam Heat
But I need your love to keep away the cold
I got (clang) (clang) S-S-S-Steam Heat
I got (clang) (clang) S-S-S-Steam Heat
I got (clang) (clang) S-S-S-Steam Heat
But I can’t get warm without your hand to hold
The radiator’s hissin’, still I need your kissin’
To keep me from freezin’ each night
I got a hot water bottle but nothing I got’ll
Take the place of you, holding me tight
I got (clang) (clang) S-S-S-Steam Heat
I got (clang) (clang) S-S-S-Steam Heat
I got (clang) (clang) S-S-S-Steam Heat
But I need your love to keep away the cold
Interlude
They told me to shovel more coal in the boiler
They told me to shovel more coal in the boiler
They told me to shovel more coal in the boiler
But that don’t do no good
They told me to pour some more oil in the burner
They told me to pour some more oil in the burner
They told me to pour some more oil in the burner
But that don’t do no good
The radiator’s hissin’, still I need your kissin’
To keep me from freezin’ each night
I got a hot water bottle but nothing I got’ll
Take the place of you, holding me tight
I got (clang) (clang) S-S-S-Steam Heat
I got (clang) (clang) S-S-S-Steam Heat
I got (clang) (clang) S-S-S-Steam Heat
But I need your love to keep away the cold
I need your love to keep away the cold
