In the Cool, Cool, Cool of the Evening - Dean Martin

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
