In the cool, cool, cool of the evening, tell 'em I'll be there;
Em7A7Em7A7GdimDA7D
In the cool, cool, cool of the evening, save your pappy a chair.
A7DEm7A7DA7DD7G
When the party's getting a glow on and singin' fills the air,
GmGdimDB7
In the shank of the night, when the doin's are right,
Em7A7DD
Well you can tell 'em I'll be there

I like a barbecue, I like to boil a ham
BbEbBb
And I vote for bouillabaisse stew. (What's that?)
CFCF
I'd like a weenie bake, steak and a layer cake
CFC
And you'll get a tummy ache too
C#F#C#
We'll rent a tent or a teepee
F#7C#
Let the town crier cry "All's well!"
D7Am7D9GD7Am7D9G
And if it's R - S - V - P, this is what I'll re - ply:
[Chorus]
A7DEm7A7DCdimEm7A7
In the cool, cool, cool of the evening, tell 'em we'll be there,
Em7A7Em7A7GdimDA7D
If you need a pair of freeloaders to fracture your af - fair.
A7DEm7A7DA7DD7G
I may even give them Pagliacci -- now stand back and give him air
GmGdimDB7
If one can relax and we'll have a few yaks
Em7A7D
And you can tell them we'll be there
[Verse]

"Oui," said the bumblebee, "Let's have jubilee."
BbEbBbEb
"When?" said the prairie hen, "Soon?"
CFCF
"Sure," said the dinosaur "Where?" said the grisly bear
CFC
"Under the light of the moon."
C#F#C#F#C#
"How about your brother, jackass?" everyone gaily cried
Am7D9G
"Are you coming to the fracas?" ("Ain't gonna blow it!"
D7Am7D9GG7
And all the respects," he sighed
[Chorus]

In the cool, cool, cool of the evening, tell 'em I'll be there
Em7A7Em7A7GdimDA7D
In the cool, cool, cool of the evening, stick 'em on my hair
A7DEm7A7DA7DD7G
If perchance we look a bit peeked, remember, "Se la guerre
GmGdimDB7
If we're still on our feet and there's something to eat
Em7A7D
Well you can tell them we'll be there
[Chorus]
A7DEm7A7DCdimEm7A7
In the cool, cool, cool of the evening, tell 'em I'll be there
Em7A7Em7A7GdimDA7D
In the cool, cool, cool of the evening, better save a chair
A7DEm7A7DA7DD7G
When the party's getting a glow on and singin' fills the air
GmGdimDB7
If there's gas in my hack and my laundry is back
GmGdimDB7
If there's room for one more and you need me, why sure
GmGdimDB7
If you need a new face or a tenor or base
GmGdimDB7
If I can climb out of bed and put a head on my head
Em7A7D
Well you can tell 'em we'll be there.
