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 |
