Be Cool

Jeff Elliott, Robert George and Mike Morgan

Well, she’s practicin’ some nine ball, drinkin’ Johnnie Walker Black
See her reach across the table, watch her work and shake that rack
Hold on there a second, Junior…don’t you try some corny line
She’ll fly you a finger eagle, if you ask her “what’s your sign”
She wears faded blue jeans
Like they’re Dixie Prada
If you’re warm, to her fine form
Well, then you gotta

Be cool
As the southern wind in the willow
Be cool
As the other side of the pillow
It’s simple, plain advice
Just be cool as champagne on ice

Told ya not to bother, Sonny…that approach’d never work
Cos your hands’re hot n clammy, you got sweat stains on your shirt
Here’s a napkin…wipe your forehead…Buddy, ease your fever down
Cool your heels n pop a chill pill, cos you’re pantin’ like a hound
Though the heat of the night’s
Close enough to burn you
There’s no doubt, she’ll freeze you out
Unless you learn to

Be cool
As the southern wind in the willow
Be cool
As the other side of the pillow
It’s simple, plain advice
Just be cool as champagne on ice

she’s got fire that my soul can feel
And when I say “hello” I know that she’ll

Be cool
As the southern wind in the willow
She’ll be cool
As the other side of the pillow
It’s only simple, plain advice
Just be cool as champagne on ice

This lyric is pure gold! The vocals and instrumentation are great. Very professional.

Thanks Steve. My co-writers organized and funded the Nashville demo as well as composed music that fit perfectly.
I had nothing to do with that.

I did set up the first chorus and lead smoothly into the hook, then kept the hook in focus from there on out. I don't think I could do that now, with the word play etc.

It ain't easy being all washed up, haha.

Hey dude, long time no see.

Love the lyric, it's pretty darn tight.! I think I was looking for a more fun sounding melody...........cus it kinda sounds spooky.. ahha

Like.... Dude.. just be cool..... I get it... love the idea, love the whole theme..........

Love the pillow reference!

Thanks Kay.
