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 this heat gets me down
And 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 just drink alone
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? 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
But 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 the man 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
'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 stopped to buy me
Something cool
