A Big Surprise
DNo use iEmn our pretending we don't know what we know

DI know eacEmh muscle on your back and every toe 
But you've Gheld ouCt on me, I can tell from your eyes
DisD#guising thAe ace that you hold 
Chorus:

It's Gboy meets girl and Ahere we go once aDgain 
Where is that EmYankee ingeAnuity 
Somebody told me how the motion picture would end 
I turned and glared at them 
And then I read the way the world was going to end 
With a whimpering sound, not a banging away 
I'm sorry I gave it away 
Chorus 2X
Break the rules and make a fool out of me 
Where is that Yankee ingenuity right now 
I want a big surprise tonite 
A really big surprise tonite
