It's a long hot afternoon Staring at the same old books Teacher says you'll be out soon But, she don't know how long it looks You wanna get outside You wanna go for a ride And start playin' it cool They tell you graduate But, I just can't wait To start playin' it cool Pretty girls everywhere Walkin' up and down the hall Then you see her standing there Leaning up against the wall She could be dying to dance You got to take that chance On playin' it cool You better tell her twice 'Cuz she's a little too nice She's got to play it cool Play it cool Play it cool
One more afternoon Starin' at the parking lot I hope I get out soon 'Cuz summertime is all we got You did the hardest part Now it's time to start Playin' it cool Nobody really knows That's the way it goes When you're playin' it cool Play it cool Play it cool C-O-O-COOL
You wanna get outside You wanna go for a ride And start playin' it cool They tell you graduate But, I just can't wait To start playin' it cool We did the hardest part Now it's time to start Playin' it cool Nobody really knows That's the way it goes When you're playin' it cool Playin' it cool Uou got to play it cool Playin' it cool
