It's a long hot afternoon
|
Staring at the same old books
|
Teacher says you'll be out soon
|
But, she don't know how long it looks
|
You wanna get outside
|
You wanna go for a ride
|
And start playin' it cool
|
They tell you graduate
|
But, I just can't wait
|
To start playin' it cool
|
Pretty girls everywhere
|
Walkin' up and down the hall
|
Then you see her standing there
|
Leaning up against the wall
|
She could be dying to dance
|
You got to take that chance
|
On playin' it cool
|
You better tell her twice
|
'Cuz she's a little too nice
|
She's got to play it cool
|
Play it cool
|
Play it cool
|
|
One more afternoon
|
Starin' at the parking lot
|
I hope I get out soon
|
'Cuz summertime is all we got
|
You did the hardest part
|
Now it's time to start
|
Playin' it cool
|
Nobody really knows
|
That's the way it goes
|
When you're playin' it cool
|
Play it cool
|
Play it cool
|
C-O-O-COOL
|
|
You wanna get outside
|
You wanna go for a ride
|
And start playin' it cool
|
They tell you graduate
|
But, I just can't wait
|
To start playin' it cool
|
We did the hardest part
|
Now it's time to start
|
Playin' it cool
|
Nobody really knows
|
That's the way it goes
|
When you're playin' it cool
|
Playin' it cool
|
Uou got to play it cool
|
Playin' it cool
|
