Something Cool

Something cool
Something cool
Something cool
I'd like to order 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 drinks, I must confess, it's very old
But it's simple and neat
It's just right for the heat
Save my thirst 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 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'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 had
One I almost forgot
'Cause this weather's so hot
And I'm feeling so bad
About a date always
I'm such a fool
He's just a guy
Who stopped to buy me
Something cool
