Johnny
Once, long ago, on a warm summer day
I was writing a song
As the sky turned to gray
The rainclouds came and the rain wasn't far behind
Then sun appeared and the sun and the rain combined
What a surprise
There was a rainbow that stretched out so long
What a surprise
It was so beautiful
I finished writing my song
The rainbow was inspiration from the skies
What a surprise
What a surprise
What a wonderful surprise
Gwen
Once I was gardening
And pulling up weeds
When I was done
I decided that I'd plant some seeds
Johnny
Some Brussels sprouts and carrots and honeydew
Gwen
But then something happened when all those little plants grew
Johnny and Gwen
What a surprise
Johnny
Daisies and sunflowers and a lone buttercup
Johnny and Gwen
What a surprise
Johnny
I must have gotten my seeds all mixed up
(Following portion on Johnny and the Sprites album only...)
Johnny and Gwen
But their blooms were so pretty
I couldn't believe my eyes
Johnny
What a surprise
Gwen
What a surprise
Johnny and Gwen
What a wonderful surprise
Johnny
There are surprise endings
Surprise guests
Surprise parties, too
Surprises, when they're really great
Can make your dreams come true
Make your dreams come true
Johnny and Gwen
What a surprise
(Both scat on "do")
Gwen
Do, do, song!
(end album only portion)
Johnny
Sometimes what you don't expect is what truly satisfies
What a surprise
What a surprise
Gwen
What a surprise
Johnny
What a surprise
Gwen
What a surprise
Johnny and Gwen
What a surpri-i-i-i-i-i-i-se
Johnny
What a wonderful surprise
Gwen
What a surpri-i-i-i-i-se!
