In The Cool, Cool, Cool Of The Evening (Album Version)

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, jackass?"

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
