Fred Astaire
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 replyIn 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,Songtexte"Under the light of the moon?""How `bout ya, brother jackass?"Ev'ryone gaily cried,"You comin' to the fracas?"Over his specs he sighedIn 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
