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
