(bing) in the cool, cool, cool of the evening
tell and'em iand'll be there
in the cool, cool, cool of the evening
save your pappy a chair
when the partyand's gettinand' a glow on
and singinand' fills the air
in the shank of the night
when the doinand's are right
well, you can tell and'em iand'll be there
(jane) i like a barbecue
(bing) i like a boiler ham
(jane) and i vote for bouillabaise stew (bing: whatand's that?)
(bing) iand'd like a wienie bake
steak and a layer cake
(jane) and youand'll get a tummy ache, too
(bing) we rent a tent or a teepee
let the town crier cry
and if itand's r.s.v.p.
this is what iand'll reply:
In the cool, cool, cool of the evening
tell and'em weand'll be there
if you need a pair of freeloaders
to fracture your affair
i may even give them andquot;pagliacciandquot;
(jane) now, stand back and give him air
(bing) everyone can relax
and weand'll have a few yacks
(both) and you can tell and'em weand'll be there
(jane) andquot;whee,andquot; said the bumblebee
andquot;letand's have a jubileeandquot;
andquot;when,andquot; said the prairie hen, andquot;soon?andquot;
(bing) andquot;shore,andquot; said the dinosaur
andquot;where?andquot; said the grizzly bear
andquot;under the light of the moonandquot;
(jane) andquot;how about your brother jackass?andquot;
everyone gaily cried
andquot;are you cominand' to the fracas?andquot;
and over his specs, he sighed:
(both) in the cool, cool, cool of the evening
tell and'em weand'll be there
in the cool, cool, cool of the evening
stickum in my hair
if perchance we look a bit peaked
remember, cand'est la guerre
if weand're still on our feet
and thereand's somethinand' to eat
well, you can tell and'em weand'll be there
(backup singers) in the cool, cool, cool of the evening
tell and'em iand'll be there
in the cool, cool of the evening
better save a chair
(jane) when the partyand's gettinand' a glow on
and singinand' fills the air
(bing) if thereand's gas in my hack
and my laundry is back
(jane) if thereand's room for one more
and you need me? (bing: why, shore!)
(backup) if you need a new face
or a tenor or bass
(bing) if i can climb out of bed
and put a hat on my head
(all) well, you can tell and'em weand'll be there
