|
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. |
