"Something Cool" lyrics

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 a while
And you 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 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'll bet you couldn't imagine
That I once had a house
With so many rooms you couldn't count them all!
And 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 know 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 so tall?

Well, it's through
It's just a memory I have
One I almost forgot
'Cause this 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's stopped to buy me
Something cool
