Clara Bellino: Listen/VideoFilm/Vox

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 a while
yes 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 offer
and I 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 the heat
save my furs for the cold

a cigarette
well I don't smoke them
as a rule
but I'll have one
it would be fun
with something...

I bet you can't imagine
that I one time had a house
with so many rooms
you couldn't count them all
and I bet you couldn't imagine
I had fifteen different guys
who would beg and beg to
take me to the ball
and I 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 through
it's just a memory I had
one I almost forgot but 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
