In the cool, cool, cool of the evening,    save your pappy a chair 
A7       D       Em7     A7  D     A7      D      D7        G 
When the party's getting a glow on    and singin' fills the air 
        Gm          Gdim             D          B7                   
In the shank of the night, when the doin's are right

Well you can tell 'em I'll be there 
Bb       Eb        Bb        Eb                    
I like a barbecue, I like to boil a ham 
    Bb            Eb            Bb 
And I vote for bouillabaisse stew. 's that 
C          F            C           F                             
I'd like a weenie bake, steak and a layer cake 
       C            F          C 
And you'll get a tummy ache too 
C#            F#       C#               F#7                 C# 
We'll rent a tent or a teepee. Let the town crier cry "All's well" 
D7         Am7 D9   G       D7         Am7 D9   
And if it's R  S  V  P, this is what  I'll reply

If you need a pair of freeloaders to fracture your affair 
  A7  D    Em7        A7  D     A7     D             D7      G 
I may even give them Pagliacci now stand back and give him air 
   Gm       Gdim            D          B7              
If one can relax and we'll have a few yaks 
              Em7       A7       D 
And you can tell them we'll be there 
  Bb             Eb         Bb          Eb                       
"Oui,  said the bumblebee, "Let's have jubilee

"Are you coming to the fracas" "Ain't gonna blow it" 
            D7           Am7    D9   G  G7 
And all the respects,"  he sighed 
        D          Em7  A7      D                Cdim     Em7   A7         
In the cool, cool, cool of the evening, tell 'em I'll be there 
Em7         A7        Em7    A7  Gdim    D  A7  D 
In the cool, cool, cool of the evening,    stick 'em on my hair 
A7       D      Em7    A7  D      A7   D       D7        G             
If perchance we look a bit peeked, remember, se la guerre 
               Gm          Gdim               D          B7 
If we're still on our feet and there's something to eat 
             Em7       A7       D                 
Well you can tell them we'll be there 
    A7      D          Em7  A7      D                Cdim     Em7   A7 
In the cool, cool, cool of the evening, tell 'em I'll be there 
        Em7         A7           Em7    A7     Gdim    D   A7  D 
In the cool, cool, cool of the evening, better save a chair 
A7       D       Em7     A7  D  A7       D      D7        G           
When the party's getting a glow  on and singin' fills the air 
              Gm       Gdim        D          B7 
If there's gas in my hack and my laundry is back 
            Gm          Gdim          D           B7                           
If there's room for one more and you need me, why sure 
         Gm        Gdim      D         B7 
If you need a new face or a tenor or base 
          Gm          Gdim           D          B7                     
If I can climb out of bed and put a head on my head 
                Em7       A7       D 
Well you can tell 'em we'll be there
