Something Cool

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

Just to sit down and rest awhile

Hey you know it's a shame

But I can't think of your name

But I remember your smile

Well I don't ordinarily drink

With strangers

I guess I usually just just drink alone

But you were so 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

Hey I will save my furs for the cold

A cigarette no I don't smoke them

As a rule

But I'll have one it might be fun

With something cool

I'll bet you wouldn't imagine

But I once had a house

With so many rooms

I couldn't count them all

Yeah I know you wouldn't imagine

But I had fifteen different guys

Who would beg and beg to take me to a ball

And I know you wouldn'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
