Johnny Mercer
In the Cool, Cool, Cool of the Evening
Sue wants a barbecue,Sam wants to boil a ham,Grace votes for Bouillabaisse stew.Jake wants a weeny bake,Steak and a layer cake,He'll get a tummy ache too.We'll rent a tent or tepee.Let the town crier cry.And if it's RSVPThis is what I'll reply:In the cool, cool, cool of the eveningTell 'em I'll be thereIn the cool, cool, cool of the eveningBetter save a chairWhen the party's gettin' a glow onAnd singin' fills the airIn the shank of the nightWhen the doin's are rightYou can tell 'em I'll be there"Whee" said the bumblebee,""Let's have a jubilee""When?" said the prairie hen, "Soon?""Shore" said the dinosaur."Where?" said the grizzly bear,Letras de canciones"Under the light of the moon?""How `bout ya, brother jackass?"Ev'ryone gaily cried,"You comin' to the fracas?"Over his specs he sighed:In the cool, cool, cool of the eveningTell 'em I'll be thereIn the cool, cool, cool of the eveningSlickum on my hair.When the party's gettin' a glow onAnd singin' fills the airIf I ain't in the clink,And there's sumpin' to drink,You can tell 'em I'll be there
