June Christy - Something Cool Lyrics

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 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 admit
That it's very, very old
But it's simple and neat
Just right for the heat
Save my furs for the cold
A cigarette? Well I don't smoke them as a rule
But I'll have one, it would be fun with something cool
I'll bet you couldn't imagine
That I one time had a house
With so many rooms I couldn't count them all
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'll bet 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, quite so charmed
Well, it's through
It's just a memory I had
One I almost forgot
'Cause the 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 stopped to buy me
Something cool
