Julie London — Something Cool

Something cool Something cool Something cool I'd like to order something cool 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 But you were so awfully nice to ask me And I'm so terribly far from home Like my drinks, I must confess, it's very old But it's simple and neat It's just right for the heat Save my thirst 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 bet you couldn't imagine I had fifteen different beaus Who would beg and beg To take me to a ball 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 had One I almost forgot 'Cause this weather's so hot And I'm feeling so bad About a date always I'm such a fool He's just a guy Who stopped to buy me Something cool
