I had a surprise party for my baby
Made everyone promise not to put my baby wise
And now they're talkin' about the way it turned out
What a complete surprise
Some intimate friends came to greet my baby
And I was as busy as a bee around a hive
I took a look at the clock
Tickity tock
My baby was about to arrive
There were flowers on the table
Somethin' extra special on ice
I was glad that I was able
To have everything nice
Including chicken & rice
Had everything all set & then we waited
And I was delighted & excited as could be
But when my baby walked in with somebody else
The most surprised party was me
I thought I was the perfect host
I had the lights turned low
I had my ? right there at my elbow
I had a lot of fancy knick knacks scattered about the place
Made sure to have plenty of doilies chantilly lace
Her favourite friends were gathered behind the big settee
And after we surprised here we were all going to make whoopee
Yes we planned to announce our engangement after we made some fudge
But somebody double crossed me
Someone who bore me a grudge
I had everything all set & then we waited
And I was delighted & excited as could be
But when my baby walked in with somebody else
The most surprised party was me
