Rosemary
Clooney(May 23, 1928 – June 29, 2002) was an American singer and actress. She
came to prominence in the early 1950s with the song "Come On-a My House",
which was followed by other pop numbers such as "Botch-a-Me",
"Mambo Italiano",
"Tenderly", "Half as Much", "Hey There",
and "This Ole House". She
also had success as a jazz vocalist. Clooney's career languished in the 1960s, partly due to problems related
to depression and drug addiction, but revived in 1977, when her White
Christmas co-star
Bing Crosby asked her to appear with him at a
show marking his 50th anniversary in show business. She continued recording
until her death in 2002.
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 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?"
"Shore" said
the dinosaur.
"Where?" said the grizzly bear,
"Under the light of the moon?"
"How `bout ya, brother jackass?"
Ev'ryone gaily cried,
"You comin' to the fracas?"
Over his specs he
sighed
In the cool, cool, cool of the evening
Tell 'em I'll be there
In the cool, cool, cool of the evening
Slickum on my hair.
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.
