[Verse 1] Sue wants a barbecue Sam wants to boil a ham Grace votes for bouillabaisse too Jake wants a weinie bake Steak and the layer cake And he'll get a tummy ache too We'll rent a tent or a teepee Let the town crier cry And if it's R.S.V.P This is what I'll reply In the cool, cool, cool of the evening Tell them I'll be there In the cool, cool, cool of the evening Better save a chair [Chorus][x3] Oh, when the party's a-getting a glow on And singing fills the air In the shank of the night when the doing's all right You can tell them I'll be there [Outro] In the shank of the night when the doing's all right You can tell them I'll be there
