Something cool
I'd like to order something cool
It's so warm here in town
And the heat gets me down
I'd like something cool

My, it's nice to simply sit and rest awhile
I know it's a shame
I can't think of your name
But I remember your smile
I don't ordinarily drink
With strangers
I almost usually drink alone
But you were so very nice to ask me
And I'm so terribly far from home.

Do you like my dress?
I must admit it's very very old.
But it's simple and neat
And just right for this heat.
I 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 you couldn't count them 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 through.
It's just a memory I had
One I almost forgot
'Cause the weather's so hot!
And I'm feeling so bad
About a date
Oh wait!
I am such a fool!
He's just a guy
Who's stopped to buy me
Something cool!
