[Intro]
I've seen a-many bridges in my time and crossed every one of them
With no trouble at all (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
I had trials and tribulations, heartaches and pains (Well, that's alright)
Survived them all, baby (Uh-huh, say it, say it!)
Hmph, I'm still Melody, and I'm still Cool
Melody Cool

[Verse 1]
They call me Melody Cool (Melody, Melody)
I was here long before you (Melody, Melody)
If you're good, I will love you (Melody) but I'm nobody's fool (Melody)
I'm Melody Cool

[Verse 2]
When I was born, there were tidal waves (Melody, Melody)
Whole town went under, nobody saved (Melody, Melody)
At every funeral, it rained every time I sang
Melody Cool
I have been here much longer (Melody), longer than you (Melody)
I'm Melody Cool

[Bridge]
Well, now, everybody running 'round talking 'bout saving souls
When they know good and plenty well, they got enough trouble
Trying to save their own
(Alright, say it, say it, girl)
(Melody...melody...melody)
[Verse 3]
Go on, go on
Every woman and every man (Melody)
One day, they just got to understand (Melody)
That if we play in the same key, everything will be
Melody Cool

[Breakdown]
(Melody, Melody, Melody, Melody)
What's your name? (Melody, Melody)
New power, wave your hand, everybody, sing out across the land
Say hey-hey-hey (Hey-hey-hey)
Say hey-hey-hey (Hey-hey-hey)
Everybody, say hey-hey-hey (Hey-hey-hey)
They call me Melody Cool (Melody, Melody, Melody)

[Outro]
Look here, young'un
Let me give you a piece of good advice (Melody)
And I do get paid for counseling
It ain't no big I's and little U's in my life
So that's why you see, they call me Melody Cool (Melody, Melody Cool, Melody)
I was here long before you (Melody, long before you)
If you're good (Melody)
I will love you but I'm nobody's fool (Melody)
I'm Melody Cool
(Melody, Melody Cool, Melody... long before you)
