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 weeny 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 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 "Whee" said the bumblebee, " "Let's have a jubilee" "When?" said the prairie hen, "Soon?" "Shore" said the dinosaur. "Where?" said the grizzly bear, "Under the light of the moon?" "How 'bout ya, brother jackass?" Ev'ryone gaily cried, "You comin' to the fracas?" Over his specs 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 gettin' a glow on And singin' fills the air If I ain't in the clink, And there's sumpin' to drink, You can tell 'em I'll be there
