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 thinking 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
