Lyrics

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!
