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 Better save a chair When the party's gettin' a glow on And singin' fills the air In the shank of the night When the doin's are right You can tell 'em I'll be there "Whee" said the bumblebee," "Let's have a jubilee" "When?" said the prairie hen, "Soon?"

When the party's gettin' a glow on And singin' fills the air If I ain't in the clink, And there's sumpin' to drink, You can tell 'em I'll be there
