| Lyrics |
Surprise!
I'm glowing with a wonderful surprise;
I know it must be showing in my eyes
What a joy! What a prize!
Goodbye to my humdrum affairs
Countless night that went by with no rockets or flares!
My lucky star looked down on me and said,
"So there you are!
If I can help at all you're going far!"?
Lucky me! Lucky star!
Whoever dreamed
I'd be swept to the skies!
Surprise! Surprise!
Surprise!
I'm glowing with a wonderful surprise;
I know it must be showing in my eyes
What a joy! What a prize!
Goodbye to my humdrum affairs
Countless night that went by with no rockets or flares!
My lucky star looked down on me and said,
"So there you are!
If I can help at all you're going far!"?
Lucky me! Lucky star! |
