Surprise
Big Bird:Surprise is what you feel, I'm sure you recollect it. When something happens suddenly, And you did not expect it. And things that make you feel surprised, We like to call... Surprises!
So here's a little song. It isn't very long. To help you realize what a surprise is!
Bob: Surprise... Maria: Surprise... Gordon: Surprise... Boy: Surprise!
(Music gets faster as Maria is hit in the face with a pie)
All: It happens in an instant, You can't believe your eyes. Just suddenly a start at stand you hardly recognize.
David: Surprise... Bob: Surprise! Stuie Monster: Surprise! David and Bob: AH!
Maria: Surprises go so quickly, You don't know where you're at. You're dressing to go out, And there's a rabbit in your hat?! (Bob throws a pie in the rabbit's face)
(Scene changes to show Gordon shopping.)
Gordon: You're shopping in the market, When suddenly you start. The groceries are moving, There's a monster in your cart!
(Drum solo; scene changes to show David hanging laundry.)
Bob: You're hanging out the washing, 'Cause the weather's fine. And suddenly, you see that Something else is on the line!

(Scene changes to show Mr. Hooper in disguise before a door.)
Mr. Hooper: You open up the door, You walk into the hall, Instead of walking to the hall, You walk into a wall! (Bangs his face on the wall) Wall: Surprise. (Throws a pie at the wall)
(Scene changes to Gordon at a window.)
Gordon: You're looking out a window, You see who's on the town. You find that someone's looking in, Who's hanging upside down! Grover: Surprise! (Screams as he falls)
(Scene changes to show Maria at a bakery with a baker.)

Bob: So there are some surprises, David: They often wear disguises, Gordon: They can make funny faces, Maria: Or even custard piers. (gets hit with a pie)
All: And like they are the spice, They seldom have it twice, (Maria is hit again) And there are times when nothing you can think of is at times...!! Bob: As a surprise is... (Maria pies him)
(Scene changes to show Big Bird, sadly walking down Sesame Street.)
Big Bird: One day, you have a birthday, You're feeling kind of rotten, 'Cause all your friends and relatives Appear to have forgotten.
You're feeling sad and lonely, When right before your eyes, There's suddenly a birthday cake, and people yell... All: SURPRISE!
David: Surprise! Maria: Surprise!
Gordon: We knew it was your birthday Mr. Hooper (holding up a sweater): I hope this is your size. Bob: A lot more people care about you than you realize.
Grover: (pops out of the cake) Surprise! (Mr. Hooper gets pied) All: Surprise! (Then Bob) All: Surprise! (Then Gordon) All: Surprise! (Then Maria) Maria: Disguise. (She gets hit again)
All: SURPRISE!!!
(Song ends with Big Bird's pie flying up and splatting the camera.)
