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 on a ditty, 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, better save a chair   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 'em I'll be there      Oh when the party's a-getting a glow on and the singing fills the air   In the shank of the night when the doing's all right   You can tell them, I'll be there   In the shank of the night when the doing's all right   You can tell them I'll be there
