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. (musical interlude) 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.
