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
|
|
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
