Lyrics
ELIZABETH:
It's me, it's me, it's me!
It's me, it's me, it's me!
It's me, it's me, it's me!
It's me, it's me, it's ...
Me me me me me
Me me me me me
Me!
BLUCHER:
And who are you you you you you you you you you you?
ELIZABETH:
Why, I'm Elizabeth Benning. Dr. Fronkensteen's adorable madcap fiancée.
I'm sure he's spoken of me day and night.
BLUCHER:
Never. Well, let me warn you. Dr. Fronkensteen might not be entirely happy with this surprise.
ELIZABETH:
Au contraire!
Everybody loves to get a surprise!
Life can be so dull without a surprise!
When your spirit's dragging
And you're oh so blue
It all can change
If fates arrange
A nice surprise for you!
All the world enjoys a lovely surprise!
Life's a chore, a bore without a surprise!
When everything seems hopeless
Then you realize...
There's nothing like a wonderful surprise!
ENTOURAGE: Miss Benning!
ELIZABETH:
Allow me to present my entourage. I never travel without them.
Marcia, nails; Sasha, make-up; Tasha, hair; Basha, wardrobe; and Bob, my astrologer.
ENTOURAGE:
Everybody loves to get a surprise!
ELIZABETH:
Everybody loves a little surprise!
ENTOURAGE:
No one could refuse a little surprise!
ELIZABETH:
Protestants and Jews all love a surprise!
ENTOURAGE:
When you're melancholy
ELIZABETH:
Oh boo hoo hoo!
ENTOURAGE:
And you start to cry...
ELIZABETH:
Don't you cry!
ENTOURAGE:
'Cause a nice surprise will dry your eyes
And troubles go bye-bye!
ELIZABETH:
Bye-Bye!
Frau Blücher & Igor:
Some folks don't appreciate a surprise!
Elizabeth & entourage:
No one could refuse a teeny weeny surprise!
Frau Blücher & Igor:
'Specially if they're naked when they're surprised!
Elizabeth & entourage:
Everyone could use a lovely surprise!
Frau Blücher & Igor:
If you know what's doin'
Elizabeth & entourage:
A surprise is brewin'
Frau Blücher & Igor:
Here's what we advise
ELIZABETH: Uh-huh
Frau Blücher & Igor:

Surprise!
(The table, with Frederick and Inga intertwined yet still covered by a sheet, arrives at ground level. Everyone sees them except Elizabeth.)
Embrace the unexpected
And let the fates devise...
A stunning, cunning, wonderful sur-
(ELIZABETH bumps into the table just as Frederick and Inga have untangled themselves from under the sheet. She sees them.)
Frederick!
FREDERICK: Elizabeth!
INGA: Scheise!
Frau Blücher, Igor & the entourage: SURPRISE!
