Something Cool Songtext
von Jacqui Naylor

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

My, it's nice
To simply sit and rest a while
Now I know that it's a shame
But I can′t think of your name
But I remember your smile

I don′t ordinarily drink with strangers
See, I most usually drink alone
But you were so terribly kind to ask me
And I am so awfully far from home

Like my dress?
Well, I must confess it's very old
But it′s simple and neat
It's just right for the heat
And I save all my furs for the cold


A cigarette?
Well, I don′t smoke them as a rule
But I'll have one
It could be fun with something

I′ll bet you couldn't imagine that I one time had a house
With so many rooms, I, I couldn't count them all
And I′ll bet you couldn′t imagine I had fifteen different beaus
And they 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'd have thought that the man that I loved
Would be quite so handsome, quite so tall

Well, that′s through
It's just a memory that I had
One I almost forgot
Because the weather′s so hot
And I'm feeling so bad

About a date, oh, wait!
I am such a fool
It's just a guy
Who stopped to buy me something cool
