[00:01.0] Jane Monheit - Something Cool
[00:04.0]
[00:11.800] Something cool
[00:16.570] I'd like to order something cool
[00:23.460] It's so warm here in town and this heat gets me down
[00:30.970] Yes, I'd like something cool
[00:36.100]
[00:36.880] My, it's nice to simply sit and rest awhile
[00:47.210] You know it's a shame
[00:51.140] I can't think of your name
[00:54.500] I remember your smile
[00:59.490]
[01:00.290] I don't ordinarily drink with strangers
[01:05.950] I guess I usually drink alone
[01:11.590] But you were so awfully nice to ask me
[01:17.150] And I'm so terribly far from home
[01:22.510]
[01:23.340] Like my dress I must confess it's very old
[01:34.300] But it's simple and neat, it's just right for this heat
[01:40.280] Save my furs for the cold
[01:46.259] A cigarette, no I don't smoke them as a rule
[01:56.670] But I'll have one, it might be fun with something cool
[02:08.139]
[02:09.900] I'd bet you wouldn't imagine that I once had a house
[02:14.900] With so many rooms you couldn't count them all
[02:20.530] I'll bet that you couldn't imagine I had fifteen different boys
[02:26.510] Who would beg and beg to take me to a ball
[02:31.750]
[02:32.640] And I know you couldn't picture me
[02:35.310] The time I went to Paris in the fall
[02:42.560] And who would think the man that I loved
[02:48.920] Was quite so handsome and quite so tall
[03:00.790]
[03:04.550] Well, it's through, it's just a memory I had
[03:17.630] One I almost forgot since the weather's so hot
[03:23.760] And I'm feeling so bad about a date, oh wait, I'm such a fool
[03:40.570] He's just a guy who stopped to buy me something cool
[04:01.580]
