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
