Something Cool

Something Cool - June Christy

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

You were so awfully nice to me

And I'm so terribly far from home

Like my dress

I must confess it's terribly old

But it's simple and neat

It's 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 might 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 a 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 tall

Well it's true

It's just a memory

I have

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's stopped to buy

Me something cool
