Lyric Something Cool

Written by Barnes)

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

I 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
