Текст песни You'd Be Surprised - Billy Murray

Johnny was bashful and shy
Nobody understood why
Mary loved him
All the other girls passed him by
Everyone wanted to know
How she could pick such a beau
With a twinkle in her eye
She made this reply

He's not so good in a crowd
But when you get him alone
You'd be surprised
He's kinda scared in a mob
But when he talks on the phone

You'd be surprised
He doesn't look like much of a lover
But you can't judge a book by its cover
He's got the face of an angel
But there's a devil in his eye
He's such a delicate thing
But when he squeezes your hand

You'd be surprised
He's scared to death in a boat
But when you get him on land

You'd be surprised
At a party or at a ball
I must admit he's nothing at all
But when he takes you home
You'd be surprised

Mary continued to praise
Johnny's remarkable ways
To the ladies
And you know advertising pays
Now Johnny's never alone
He has the busiest phone
Almost every other day
A new girl will say

He's not so good in a crowd
But when you get him alone
You'd be surprised
He's kinda scared in a mob
But when he talks on the phone
You'd be surprised

I know he looks as slow as the Erie
But you don't know the half of it, dearie
He's got the face of an Eskimo
But there's fire in his eye
He doesn't say very much
But when he starts in to talk
You'd be surprised

He isn't much standing still
But when we're out for a walk
You'd be surprised

I'll admit he doesn't look smart
He won't impress you right from the start
But in a week or two
You'd be surprised
