          G
That surprise

G
  La, la, la, la

C
  La, la, la, la

G
  La, la, la, la

D
  La, la, la, la   (x2)

         G                      C                 G       C
And the businessmen will shake hands and talk in numbers

          G                C             G      C
And the princess will wake up from her slumber

               G                     C             G          C
Then all the knights will step forth    with their arm bands

             G                        C                G     C
And ev'ry stranger you meet in the street will make demands

               G      C
So believe no lies,

              G     C
Then dry your eyes

        G    D D
And realize

               G
     That surprise

           C             D                    G
And we'll send you glad tidings from New York

C             D                G
Open up your eyes so you may see

C                D                G    Em
Ask you not to read between the lines

C                    D                G
Hope that you will come in right on time

             G            C               G      C
And they'll talk to you while you're in trances

            G             C           G      C
And you'll visualize not taking any chances

               G            C                   G      C
But meet them halfway with love, peace and persuasion

       G              C              G      C
And expect them   to rise for the occasion

               G  C
Don't it gratify

                        G    C
When you see it materialize

                       G     D D
Right in front of your eyes

               G
     That surprise

             G            C       G   G
And they'll lay you down low and easy
