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

 Bridge:
 And we'll send you glad tidings from New York
 Open up your eyes sa you may see
 Ask you not to read between the lines
 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
