| Something cool
|
| I’d like to order something cool
|
| It’s so warm here in town
|
| And this heat gets me down
|
| And I’d like something cool
|
| My, it’s nice
|
| To simply sit and rest awhile
|
| Now I know it’s a shame
|
| I can’t think of your name
|
| I remember your smile
|
| Well, I don’t ordinarily drink
|
| With strangers
|
| I most usually just drink alone
|
| But you were so awfully nice to ask me
|
| And I’m so terribly far from home
|
| Like my dress, well, I must confess
|
| It’s very old
|
| Hey, but it’s simple and neat
|
| And it’s just right for this heat
|
| save my furs for the cold
|
| A cigarette, no, well I don’t smoke them
|
| As a rule
|
| But, I’ll have one, it might be fun
|
| With something cool
|
| I’ll bet you couldn’t imagine
|
| that I one time had a house
|
| With so many rooms
|
| I couldn’t count them all
|
| I bet you wouldn’t imagine
|
| But I had fifteen different beaus
|
| Who would beg and beg to take me to a ball
|
| And I bet you couldn’t picture me
|
| The time I went to Paris in the fall
|
| Oh who would think the guy I loved
|
| Was quite so handsome and quite so tall
|
| Well, it’s through, it’s through
|
| That was just a memory I had
|
| One I guess I almost forgot
|
| Oh, 'cause the weather’s so hot
|
| And I’m feeling so bad
|
| About a date
|
| Oh wait, I’m such a fool
|
| He’s just a guy who stopped to buy me
|
| Something cool |
