Sue wants a barbeque
Sam wants to boil a ham
Grace votes for
bouilibaisse stew
Jake wants a weenie bake
Steak and a layer cake
He'll get a tummy ache too
We'll rent a tent or teepee
Let the town cryer cry
And if it's R.S.V.P.
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'
Ya better save a chair
When the party's
gettin' 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
Whee 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 a moon
How 'bout your brother
Jack***
Everyone gaily cried
You comin' to the fracas
Over it's fancy side
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 added a click
And there's somethin' to drink
Well you can tell 'em
I'll be there
If I can crawl out of bed
And slap my 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
