Something Cool - Julie London

Something cool\nI’d like to order something cool\nIt’s so warm here in town\nAnd this heat gets me down\nAnd I’d like something cool\nMy, it’s nice\nTo simply sit and rest awhile\nNow I know it’s a shame\nI can’t think of your name\nI remember your smile\nWell, I don’t ordinarily drink\nWith strangers\nI most usually just drink alone\nBut you were so awfully nice to ask me And I’m so terribly far from home\nLike my dress, well, I must confess\nIt’s very old\nHey, but it’s simple and neat\nAnd it’s just right for this heat\nsave my furs for the cold\nA cigarette, no, well I don’t smoke them\nAs a rule\nBut, I’ll have one, it might be fun\nWith something cool\nI’ll bet you couldn’t imagine\nthat I one time had a house\nWith so many rooms\nI couldn’t count them all\nI bet you wouldn’t imagine\nBut I had fifteen different beaus\nWho would beg and beg to take me to a ball\nAnd I bet you couldn’t picture me The time I went to Paris in the fall\nOh who would think the guy I loved\nWas quite so handsome and quite so tall\nWell, it’s through, it’s through\nThat was just a memory I had\nOne I guess I almost forgot\nOh, 'cause the weather’s so hot\nAnd I’m feeling so bad\nAbout a date\nOh wait, I’m such a fool\nHe’s just a guy who stopped to buy me Something cool
