Surprise, surprise, there's a band onstage
Surprise, surprise, I'm in a bar
Surprise, surprise, it's my turn to play
I'm overworked and underpaid
I drive to work in a rented bus
200 miles or more a day
Just so that you can get a look at us
And figure out if we're worth what you paid
Too many potential flings
Too many bands to depend
Over 60,000 miles, I traveled
To drink more beer than Al Capone bottled
And did he bottle
Well, I used to live the nightlife
But now the nightlife's livin' me
Too many times I had too many
Cause there's too many people watching me
They're watching me
Surprise, surprise, I remember them all
Surprise, surprise, we ain't pissed them off
Surprise, surprise, I kinda miss the past
Surprise, surprise, it went by so fast
Surprise, surprise (surprise, surprise)
Surprise, surprise (surprise, surprise)
Surprise, surprise (surprise, surprise)
Surprise, surprise
Surprise, surprise
