In the Cool, Cool, Cool of the Evening

Sue wants a barbecue

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 crier cry

And if it's RSVP

This is what I'll reply

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 gettin' glow on

And singin' fills the air

In the shank of the night when the doin's are right

You can tell 'em, I'll be there

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 gettin' a glow on

And singin' fills the air

In the shank of the night when the doin's are right

You can tell 'em, I'll be there

If there's room for one more

And you need me, why sure

You can tell 'em, I'll be there

If I can climb outta bed

Put a hat on my head

You can tell 'em, I'll be there
