Something Cool Lyrics - The Lovers, The Dreamers And Me - Jane Monheit

Something cool 

I'd like to order something cool 

It's so warm here in town and this heat gets me down 

Yes, I'd like something cool 

My, it's nice to simply sit and rest awhile 

You know it's a shame 

I can't think of your name 

I remember your smile 

I don't ordinarily drink with strangers 

I guess I 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 this heat 

Save my furs for the cold 

A cigarette, no I don't smoke them as a rule 

But I'll have one, it might be fun with something cool 

I'd bet you wouldn't imagine that I once had a house 

With so many rooms you couldn't count them all 

I'll bet that you couldn't imagine I had fifteen different boys 

Who would beg and beg to take me to a ball 

And I know you couldn't picture me 

The time I went to Paris in the fall 

And who would think the man that I loved 

Was quite so handsome and quite so tall 

Well, it's through, it's just a memory I had 

One I almost forgot since 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
