| Sue wants a barbecue
|
| Sam wants to boil ham
|
| Grace votes for bouillabaisse stew
|
| Jake wants a wienie bake, steak and a layer cake
|
| He’ll get a tummy ache too
|
| We’ll rent a tent or tepee
|
| 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
|
| You better save a chair
|
| When the party’s getting a glow on
|
| Singing fills the air
|
| In the shank of the night when the doings are right
|
| You can tell 'em I’ll be there
|
| Whee, 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 'bout your brother jackass
|
| Everyone gaily cried
|
| You coming to the fracas
|
| Over respects he sighed
|
| In the cool cool cool of the evening
|
| Tell 'em I’ll be there
|
| In the cool cool cool of the evening
|
| Slickum on my hair
|
| When the party’s getting a glow on
|
| Singing fills the air
|
| If I ain’t in the clink
|
| And there’s something to drink
|
| You can tell 'em I’ll be there
|
| If I can find the right sock by eleven o’clock
|
| You can tell 'em I’ll be there
|
| If you need a new face or a tenor off base
|
| You can tell 'em I’ll be there
|
| If I can climb out of bed, put a hat on my head
|
| You can tell 'em I’ll be there |
