Sue wants a barbeque.
|
Sam wants to boil a ham.
|
Grace votes for builabaise stew.
|
Jake wants a weenie bake,
|
stake 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 doins' are right,
|
well you can tell 'em I'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 'bout your brother, jackass?"
|
everyone gaily cried.
|
"You comin' to the fracas?"
|
"Offer respects," he sighed.
|
|
In the coooool of the evenin',
|
tell 'em I'll be there.
|
In the coooool of the evenin',
|
better save a chair.
|
When the party's gettin' a glow on,
|
singin' fills the air.
|
If I ain't in a clique,
|
and there's something to pick,
|
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.
