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 confess it's very old

But it's simple and neat

It's just right for the heat

I'll save my furs for the cold

A cigarette

Well, I don't smoke them as a rule

But I'll have one

It could be fun with

Something cool

Bet you couldn't imagine that I one time had a house

With so many rooms, I couldn't count them all

I bet you couldn't imagine I had fifteen different beaus

Who would beg and beg to take me to a ball

I bet you couldn't picture me

The time I went to Paris in the fall

And who would think

That 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 this weather's so hot

And I'm feeling so bad

About a date, oh wait

I'm such a fool

You're just a guy

Who stopped to buy me

Something cool
