Do do do do do do do do, what a surprise
Do do do do do do do do, what a surprise
Ooh Ooh Ooh, what a surprise
She stood there looking like she didn't care
Looking right through me like I wasn't there
Could've bowled me over when I realized
She was cooking me breakfast what a surprise
What a surprise baby, oh what a night
Looking real good, she was moving just right
I can't begin to describe all the charms
I held in my arms what a surprise
OOHH, OOHH, she didn't say nothing, not a word
OOHH, OOHH, I knew she was telling me something
Had to go back for a second helping
Out of the blue and right into my heart
I'm telling you, you can't keep us apart
Lights up the sky like the stars in the night
Who would have thunk it what a surprise
Bridge
What a surprise baby, oh what a night
Looking real good she was moving just right
Lights up the sky like the stars in the sky
Who would have thunk it what a surprise
Ad lib first line and fade
