Surprise Party

Surprise Party - Dinah Washington

Written by：Walter Bishop/Bob Hilliard

I had a surprise

Party for my baby

Made everyone promise not to put my baby wise

And now they're talking about

The way it turned out

Well not what a complete

Surprise

Some intimate friends

Came to greet my baby

And I was busy as a bee around a hive

I took a look at the clock

Then tickity tock

My baby was about

To arrive

There were flowers

On the table

Something extra special

On ice

I was glad that I was able

To have everything nice

Including chicken and rice

Had everything all set

And then we waited for my baby

I was delighted and excited as could be

But when my baby walked in

With the somebody else

The most surprised party

Oh

Oh I was gone go this gasted

Oh we

I found my baby coatin' be trusted

And they play to daddy trick on me
