The Big Surprise - The Felice Brothers

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 harbour lights do burn

See the wheel of fortune 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’s 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

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 will be no woes or sad goodbyes

On the day of the big surprise
