Something Cool Songtext
von Ruth Cameron

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 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 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 the heat
I'll save 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 cool
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 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
That the man I loved was quite so handsome
Quite so tall
Well, it′s through
It's just a memory I had
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
You're just a guy
Who stopped to buy me
Something cool
