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 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
|
|
|
I like a barbecue
|
I like to boil a ham
|
And I vote for bouillabaisse stew
|
What's that?
|
I 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 crier cry
|
"All's well!"
|
And if it's RSVP
|
This is what I'll reply
|
|
|
In the cool, cool, cool of the evening
|
Tell 'em we'll be there
|
If you need a pair of freeloaders
|
To fracture your affair
|
I may even give them Pagliacci
|
Now stand back and give him air
|
If one can relax and we'll have a few yaks
|
And you can tell them we'll be there
|
|
|
"Oui," said the bumblebee
|
"Let's have jubilee."
|
"When?" said the prairie hen, "Soon?"
|
"Sure," said the dinosaur
|
"Where?" said the grisly bear
|
"Under the light of the moon."
|
"How about your brother, jackass?"
|
Everyone gaily cried
|
"Are you coming to the fracas?"
|
Ain't gonna blow it
|
"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
|
If perchance we look a bit peaked
|
Remember c'est la guerre
|
If we're still on our feet
|
And there's something to eat
|
Well you can tell them we'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 getting a glow on
|
And singin' fills the air
|
If there's gas in my hack
|
and my laundry is back
|
If there's room for one more
|
And you need me
|
Why sure
|
If you need a new face or a tenor or base
|
If I can climb out of bed and put a hat on my head
|
Well you can tell 'em we'll be there.
