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
