Sue wants a barbeque
Sam wants to boil a ham
Grace votes for bouillabaisse 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 crier cry
And if it's RSVP
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

When the party's getting a glow on
And singing fills the air
In the shank of the night
When the doin's are right
You can tell 'em I'll be there

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 getting a glow on
And singing fills the air
In the shank of the night
When the doin's are right
You can tell 'em I'll be there

If there's room for one more
And you need me? Why, sure
You can tell 'em I'll be there

If I can climb out of bed
Put a hat on my head
You can tell 'em I'll be there
