In the Cool Cool Cool of the Evening

In The Cool Cool Cool Of The

Evening - Rosemary Clooney

Sue wants a barbecue

Sam wants to boil ham

Grace votes for bouillabaisse stew

Jake wants a wienie 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 RSVP

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

You better save a chair

When the party's getting a glow on

Singing fills the air

In the shank of the night when the doings are right

You can tell 'em I'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

Slickum on my hair

When the party's getting a glow on

Singing fills the air

If I ain't in the clink

And there's something to drink

You can tell 'em I'll be there

If you need a new face or a tenor off base

You can tell 'em I'll be there

If I can climb out of bed put a hat on my head

You can tell 'em I'll be there
