Surprise Lyrics - Sesame Street

Big Bird: I have a little song. 

It isn't very long.

(Scene changes to show Bob, wearing an old-fashioned boy's costume with straw hat.) 

Bob (speaking): Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water. (A lot of water splashes on him.) 

(Scene changes to show Bob in ordinary outfit, at Oscar's can.) 

Bob (singing): You go to visit Oscar. You knock upon his can. 

(Knocks, lid opens and someone says:) 

Unidentified voice (speaking): Oscar isn't in! 

(Scene changes to Maria and a human baker.) 

Maria (singing): You go to see a baker. 

He's making custard pies. 

You ask if you can have one, and the baker yells: 

Baker (holds up a pie): Surprise! (Ready to throw it in her face) 

Maria (holds up another pie and throws it in his face first): Surprise! 

Chorus: Surprise, surprise, surprise! 

(Scene changes to show Bob, wearing Jack and Jill costume.) 

Bob (speaking): Mary had a little lamb. Its fleece was white as snow. (A bunch of snow dumps on him.) 

(Scene changes to someone who looks out window and sees Grover hanging from a pole.) 

Grover: I don't know how I got here. 

(missing lines) 

I'm in for a ... (loses his grip and yells as he falls) 

SURPRIIIIIISSSSSSEEEEE! 

(Scene changes to show Big Bird, sadly walking down Sesame Street.) 

Big Bird (singing): Today it is your birthday, you're feeling kind of rotten, 

Seems all your friends and relatives - they somehow have forgotten, 

You're feeling sad and lonely when, right before your eyes, 

All your friends and relatives jump out and yell "SURPRISE!" 

Maria: We knew it was your birthday. 

Mister Hooper (holding up a sweater): I hope this is your size. 

(I don't know the rest, but I'm pretty sure it ends with "Surprise!")
