Sue wants a barbecue
Sam wants to boil a ham
Grace votes for bouillabaisse stew
Jake wants a weenie bake
Stake 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 evenin'
Tell 'em I'll be there
In the cool, cool, cool of the evenin'
Better save a chair
When the party's gettin' a glow on
Singin' fills the air
In the shank of the night, when the doins' are right
Well, you can tell 'em I'll be there
"Oui," 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 gaily cried
"You comin' to the fracas?"
"Offer respects," he sighed
In the cool of the evenin'
Tell 'em I'll be there
In the cool of the evenin'
Better save a chair
When the party's gettin' a glow on
Singin' fills the air
If I ain't in a clique, and there's something to pick
Well, you can tell 'em I'll be there
If I can crawl out of bed, and slap a hat on my head
Well, you can tell 'em I'll be there
If there's room for one more, and you need me, why sure
Tell 'em, tell 'em I'll be there
