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 bola baste 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
And all the 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
Stick 'em on my hair
If perchance we look a bit peeked
Remember se 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 head on my head
Well you can tell 'em we'll be there
