| 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 wondering 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 |
