Sue wants a bar-be- cue, Sam wants to boil a ham,  Grace votes for Bouil-la- baisse stew.

Jake wants a wee - ny bake, Steak and a lay - er cake.  He'll get a tum - my ache too.

We'll rent a tent or tee - pee.  Let the town cri - er cry.

And if it's R. S. V. P.,  This is what I'll re - ply:

 

Chorus:

In the cool, cool, cool of the eve - ning,  Tell em' I'll be there.

In the cool, cool, cool of the eve - ning,  Bet - ter save a chair.

When the par - ty's get - tin' a glow on,  'N' sing - in' fills the air,

In the shank of the night, When the do - in's are right,  You can tell 'em I'll be there.

(repeat chorus)

In the shank of the night,  When the do - in's are right,  You can tell 'em I'll be there.
