Something Cool
Something cool I'd like to order something cool It's so warm here in town And this heat gets me down And I'd like something cool My, it's nice Just to sit down and rest awhile Hey, you know it's a shame But I can't think of your name But I remember your smile Well, I don't ordinarily drink With strangers I guess I usually just, just drink alone But you were so nice to ask me And I'm so terribly far from home Like my dress, well, I must confess It's very old Hey, but it's simple and neat And it's just right for this heat Hey, I will 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 SongtexteI'll bet you wouldn't imagine But I once had a house With so many rooms I couldn't count them all Yeah, I know you wouldn't imagine But I had fifteen different guys Who would beg and beg to take me to a ball And I know you wouldn't picture me The time I went to Paris in the fall Oh who would think the guy I loved Was quite so handsome and quite so tall Well, it's through, it's through That was just a memory I had One I guess I almost forgot Oh, '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 Aus Songtexte Mania
