Something Cool (Album Version) - Ruth Cameron

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 dress

I must confess

It's very old

But it's simple and neat

It's just right for this heat

I'll save my furs for the cold

A cigarette

Well I don't smoke them

As a rule

But I'll have one

It could 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 wouldn't imagine

But I had fifteen different beaus

Who would beg and beg

To take me to a ball

And I bet you couldn't picture me

The time I went to Paris in the fall

And who would think

That man I loved

Was quite so handsome and quite so tall

Well it's true

It just a memory I had

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

You're just a guy

Who stopped to buy me

Something cool
