Something Cool歌词

Something cool
I'd like to order something cool

It's so warm here in town and this heat gets me down
Yes' I'd like something cool

My' it's nice to simply sit and rest awhile

You know it's a shame
I can't think of your name
I remember your smile
I don't ordinarily drink with strangers
I guess I 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 this heat
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 cool

I'd bet you wouldn't imagine that I once had a house
With so many rooms you couldn't count them all
I'll bet that you couldn't imagine I had fifteen different boys

Who would beg and beg to take me to a ball
And I know you couldn't picture me
The time I went to Paris in the fall
And who would think the man that I loved
Was quite so handsome and quite so tall

Well' it's through' it's just a memory I had

One I almost forgot since 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
