Verse:

Sue wants a barbecue, Sam wants to boil a ham,  Grace votes for Bouillabaisse stew.

Jake wants a weeny bake, Steak and a layer cake.  He'll get a tummy ache too.

We'll rent a tent or teepee.  Let the town crier cry.

And if it's R. S. V. P.,  This is what I'll reply:

 

Chorus:

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 party's gettin' a glow on,  'N' singin' fills the air,

In the shank of the night, When the doin's are right,  You can tell 'em I'll be there.

(repeat chorus)

 

Ending:

In the shank of the night,  When the doin's are right,  You can tell 'em I'll be there.
