Mashup: September Artist Showcase x Play It Cool (Tamicus)

[verse 1] Don’t flash your face Stay in shadow; stay in place Gotta be sly, gotta lay low Play it cool; play it slow Grin your sinner’s grin Let the games begin Take them all to school Just lay back; play it cool [pre-chorus] Message coming soft yet clear Time to say what you want to hear [chorus] Just lay back and play it cool Let them think you’re just a tool You know better; you’re not a fool You’re a genius in disguise One of them guys who is wise You’re just waiting for your cue So just lay back and play it cool [verse 2] Seconds ticking, minutes pass Drink the martini in a frosty glass Eyes on the door; keep your back to the wall Play it cool; win it all Smooth your fade; check your tie Breathe deep as time goes by No rush: anticipation is a jewel So just lay back; keep playin’ it cool [pre-chorus] She’s on her way; she sent the text Take a sip of your drink; you know what’s next! [chorus] Just lay back and play it cool Let them think you’re just a tool You know better; you’re not a fool You’re a genius in disguise One of them guys who is wise You’re just waiting for your cue So just lay back and play it cool [bridge] [Only finger snaps and rhythmic bass] Cool as summer rain Cool as a midnight train Cool as Chicago jazz Cool as white topaz You’re laid back and playin’ it cool… You’re laid back and playin' it cool… [final chorus] Just lay back and play it cool Let them think you’re just a tool You know better; you’re not a fool You’re a genius in disguise One of them guys who is wise You’re just waiting for your cue So just lay back and play it cool [outro] Eyes on the door; and there she is Breathless and rosy flushed It’s nice to know she rushed Just for you; always for you She catches your eye; you tip your head As she approaches, you stand And offer an embrace She leans in and presses her cheek Softly to your face And whispers hot in your ear: “You know, you’re the coolest guy in here” [instrumental to out]
