In the Cool, Cool, Cool of the Evening

Sue wants a barbeque, Sam wants to boil a ham Grace votes for bouillabaisse stew Jake wants a weenie bake, steak and a layer cake He'll get a tummy ache, too We'll rent a tent or teepee, let the town cryer cry And if it's RSVP, this is what I'll reply In the cool, cool, cool of the evenin' tell 'em I'll be there In the cool, cool, cool of the evenin' better save a chair When the party's gettin' a glow on singin' fills the air In the shank of the night when the doin's are right Well, you can tell 'em I'll be there "Oui", said the bumblebee, "Let's have a jubilee" "When?", said the prairie hen, "Soon", "Sure", said the dinosaur "Where?", said the grisly bear, "Under the light of the moon" "How 'bout your brother, jacka*s?" Everyone gaily cried "You comin' to the fracas, over respects", he sighed In the cool of the evenin' tell 'em I'll be there In the cool of the evenin' better save a chair When the party's gettin' a glow on singin' fills the air If I ain't in the clink and there's something to drink Well, you can tell 'em I'll be there If I can crawl out of bed and slap a hat on my head Well, you can tell 'em I'll be there If there's room for one more and you need me, why sure Tell 'em, tell 'em I'll be there
