Something Cool

Something cool

I'd like to order something cool

It's so warm here in town

And this heat gets me down

Yes, I'd like something cool

My, it's nice

To simply sit and rest a while

And you know it's a shame

I can't think of your name

But I remember your smile

I don't ordinarily drink with strangers

I guess I usually drink alone

But you were so awfully nice to ask me

And I'm so terribly far from home

Like my dress?

I must confess it's very old

But it's simple and neat

It's just right for this heat

Save my furs for the cold

A cigarette?

No, I don't smoke thеm as a rule

But I'll have one

It might bе fun

With something cool[Bridge]

I'll bet you couldn't imagine

That I once had a house

With so many rooms you couldn't count them all!

And I'll bet you couldn't imagine

I had fifteen different beaus

Who would beg and beg to take me to the ball

And I know you couldn't picture me

The time I went to Paris in the fall

And who would think the man I loved

Was quite so handsome and so tall?

Well, it's through

It's just a memory I have

One I almost forgot

'Cause this 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's stopped to buy me

Something cool
