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 partys getting a glow on
And singin fills the air
In the shank of the night
When the doins 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
Well rent a tent or a teepee
Let the town crier cry Alls well
And if its RSVP this is what I'll reply
In the cool cool cool of the evening
Tell em well 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 well have a few yaks
And you can tell them well be there

Oui said the bumblebee
Lets 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
Aint 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 were still on our feet
And theres something to eat
Well you can tell them well 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 partys getting a glow on
And singin fills the air
If theres gas in my hack
And my laundry is back
If theres 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 well be there
