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 cryer cry
And if it's RSVP, 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' better save a chair
When the party's gettin' a glow on 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

"Oui", said the bumblebee, "Let's have a jubilee"
"When?", said the prairie hen, "Soon", "Sure", said the dinosaur

"How 'bout your brother, jackass?" Everyone gaily cried
"You comin' to the fracas, over respects", he sighed

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 ain't in the clink and there's something to drink
Well, you can tell 'em I'll be there

If I can crawl out of bed and slap a 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
