Lyric In The Cool Of The Evening

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

We, 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 gave a cry
You coming to the fracas
Over his expected sighs

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 aint 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
