Something cool
I'd like to order something cool
It's so warm here in town
And the heat gets me down
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!
I don't ordinarily drink with strangers
Well. I usually drink alone
But you were so awfully nice to ask me
And I am 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 the heat
Save my furs for the cold
A cigarette? 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 one time I had a house
With so many rooms I couldn't count them all
I'll bet you couldn't imagine
I had fifteen different beaus
Who would beg and beg to take me to a ball
And I'll bet 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, quite so tall
Well it's through
It's just a memory I had
One I almost forgot
'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's stopped to buy me
Something cool
