“It’s Cold Outside” Lyrics
It’s cold outside there’s no kind of atmosphere
I’m all alone more or less
Let me fly far away from here
Fun fun fun In the sun sun sun
I want to lie shipwrecked and comatose
Drinking fresh mango juice
Goldfish shoals nibbling at my toes
Fun fun fun In the sun sun sun
Fun fun fun In the sun sun sun
Official Closing Credits
In Plain English: What is Red Dwarf?
In simple terms, Red Dwarf is a British show about the last human alive, Dave Lister. He survived a disaster on a mining ship because he was frozen in “stasis” (a kind of high-tech deep sleep) for 3 million years.
The song “It’s Cold Outside” is about Lister’s dream to get away from the lonely, freezing void of space. He wants to go somewhere warm where he can relax with mango juice and sunshine—which is the opposite of his life on a cold, metal spaceship.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who are the other crew members?
