Something Cool

Something cool

I'd like to order something cool

It's so warm here in town

And the heat gets me down

Yes, 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

I most 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 admit 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 I one time had a house

With so many rooms I couldn't count 'em all

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'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 true

It's just a memory I have

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
