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 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 couldn't count them all! And I'll bet you couldn't imagine I had fifteen different beaus They who would beg and beg to take me to a 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 true just a memory I had, But 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! He's just a guy Who's stopped to buy Me something cool!
