Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In the cool, cool, cool of the evening
Tell 'em I'll be there
In the cool, cool, cool of the evening
Save your pappy a chair
When the party's getting a glow on
And the singing fills the air
In the shank of the night
When the doin's are right
Well, you can tell 'em I'll be there
[Verse 2]
I like a barbecue
I like to boil a ham
And I vote for bouillabaisse stew (What's that?)
I'd like a weenie bake
Steak and a layer cake
And you'll get a tummy ache too
We'll rent a tent or a teepee
Let the town cryer cry (All's well)
And if it's RSVP
This is what I'll reply
[Verse 3]
In the cool, cool, cool of the evening (The evening)
Tell 'em we'll be there
If you need a pair of free loaders (The evening)
To fracture your affair
I may even give them Pagliacci
Now stand back and, uh, give him air
If one can relax and we'll have a few yaks
And you can tell 'em we'll be there
[Verse 4]
Oui said the bumblebee
Let's have a jubilee
"When," said the prairie hen, "Soon?"
"Sure," said the dinosaur
"Where," said the grizzly bear
Under the light of the moon
How about your brother, Jackass?
Everyone gaily cried
Are you coming to the fracas? (Ain't gon' blow it)
And over his specs he sighed
[Verse 5]
In the cool, cool, cool of the evening
Tell 'em I'll be there
In the cool, cool, cool of the evening
Slick 'em on my hair
If per chance, we look a bit peekish
Remember, se la guerre
If we're still on our feet, and there's something to eat
Well, you can tell 'em we'll be there
[Verse 6]
In the cool, cool, cool of the evening
Tell 'em I'll be there
In the cool, cool, cool of the evening
Better save a chair
When the party's getting a glow on
And singing fills the air
If there's gas in my hack
And my laundry is back
If there's room for one more
And if you need me (Why sure)
If you need a new face or a tenor or bass
If I can climb out of bed and put a head on my head
Well, you can tell 'em we'll be there
