The Big Surprise

Get the boys, turn on the show Get the cameras, set to go Go tell the host, he's on in five It's the day of the big surprise Oh, the waves will rise and crash And they'll pound your ship of glass And the boy in the crow's nest will cry It's the day of the big surprise See how the harbor lights do burn See the wheel of fortune turn, turn It'll turn so fast, the gears will bind On the day of the big surprise Your jazzy band has lost its swing Revolution lost its ring When all your love has been a lie It's the day of the big surprise You got his letters in your purse, don't you? It's got me wondering which is worse The day I fell into your eyes Or the day of the big surprise? Grab your shovel, let's get to it There's no one way of how to do it And there'll be no woes or sad goodbyes On the day of the big surprise
