In the Cool, Cool, Cool of the Evening (feat. John Scott Trotter and His Orchestra, The Charioteers & The Rhythmaires)

In the cool, cool, cool of the evening Tell 'em I'll be there In the cool, cool, cool of the evening Save your pappy a chair When the party's getting a glow on And singin' fills the air In the shank of the night When the doin's are right Well you can tell em I'll be there I like a barbecue I like to boil a ham And I vote for bouillabaisse stew What's that? I like a weenie bake, steak and a layer cake And you'll get a tummy ache too We'll rent a tent or a teepee Let the town crier cry "All's well!" And if it's RSVP This is what I'll reply In the cool, cool, cool of the evening Tell 'em we'll be there If you need a pair of freeloaders To fracture your affair I may even give them Pagliacci Now stand back and give him air If one can relax and we'll have a few yaks And you can tell them we'll be there "Oui," said the bumblebee "Let's have jubilee." "When?" said the prairie hen, "Soon?" "Sure," said the dinosaur "Where?" said the grisly bear "Under the light of the moon." "How about your brother, jackass?" Everyone gaily cried "Are you coming to the fracas?" Ain't gonna blow it "Over respects," he sighed In the cool, cool, cool of the evening Tell 'em I'll be there In the cool, cool, cool of the evening Slickum on my hair If perchance we look a bit peaked Remember c'est la guerre If we're still on our feet And there's something to eat Well you can tell them we'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 singin' fills the air If there's gas in my hack And my laundry is back If there's room for one more And you need me Why sure If you need a new face or a tenor or base If I can climb out of bed and put a hat on my head Well you can tell 'em we'll be there.
