And they'll lay you down low in the easy
G
And the lips that you kiss will say Christmas.
G
And the miles that you traveled the distance
G                  C          G
So believe no lies, dry your eyes and realize
      D   
That surprise

G              C           G           D
La, la, la, la la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la...
G              C           G           D

G                              C                    G      C
And the businessmen will shake hands and talk in numbers
         G              C               G     C
And the princess will wake up from her slumber
              G                     C             G      C
Then all the knights will step forth with their arm bands
           G                        C                 G     C
And ev'ry stranger you meet in the street will make demands
               G   C               G  C        G
So believe no lies, then dry your eyes and realize
D
That surprise
La, la, la... 

Bridge:
           C            D                G
And we'll send you glad tidings from New York
   C            D            G    
Open up your eyes so you may see
        C       D                G    Em
Ask you not to read between the lines
     C               D              G
Hope that you will come in right on time


And they'll talk to you while you're in trances
And you'll visualize not taking any chances
But meet them halfway with love, peace and persuasion
And expect them to rise for the occasion
Don't it gratify when you see it materialize
Right in front of your eyes
That surprise 

And they'll lay you down low and easy
