Charles Strouse - Let Me Be Surprised lyrics

[spoken] [Charlie] Where am I? [Annabelle] This is the Great Hall of Judgement [Charlie] Judgement?! [Annabelle] Oh, not to worry, Charlie. You'll go to Heaven. All dogs go to Heaven because, unlike people, dogs are naturally good, and loyal, and kind [Charlie] Ah, yeah, that's true [sung] [Annabelle] Welcome to doing whatever you wish! [spoken] [Charlie] Ah, this is really a lovely place you got here [sung] [Annabelle] Eating whenever you please! Follow me To a constant temperate climate We keep it 73 degrees [spoken] We're still in Fahrenheit here [spoken] [Charlie] That's fine with me [sung] [Annabelle] Welcome to no more rat race! [spoken] [Charlie] Oh boy [sung] [Annabelle] To order and calm instead [spoken] [Charlie] Ah, great [sung] [Annabelle] Annabelle: Welcome... to being dead! [spoken] [Charlie] What?! You mean I'm, I'm- [Annabelle] Stone-cold, I'm afraid [Charlie] I can't believe it! I've been murdered! [Annabelle] I'm having trouble finding any goodness or loyalty here. But let me see... [Charlie] He k**ed me! [Annabelle] I beg your pardon? [Charlie] There's a mistake been made here! [sung] [Charlie] I don't wanna die! You got the wrong guy! I was double-crossed by a dirty rat Actually, this rat was a dog, but his car ran me down I just blew outta jail I just got back to town Hey! This is hard to explain May I speak to your superior? 'Cause I don't wanna die! [Annabelle] Welcome to doing whatever you wish! [Charlie] You got the wrong guy! [Annabelle] Laughing and singing all day! [spoken] [Charlie] Hey! My time's not up yet! [Annabelle] Oh, it is. There's no mistake about that. We know everything [Charlie] Murdered in the prime of my life! Damn that Carface, I'll k** 'im! Hey, this must be the watch department, huh? [Annabelle] You may call it that. See, this watch is your life... and it's stopped [Charlie] Well, can't you just wind it up or something? [Annabelle] And send you back? Oh, no, no, no! No one's ever allowed to go back. Just put your paw right here [Charlie] What's that for? [Annabelle] For our book of records. You see, everything about you that was, or will be, is right here [Charlie] Oh, isn't that wonderful? I love it here. You mean there's no surprises or anything? [Annabelle] Oh, no, no, no. We know everything [Charlie] Oh, that's just lovely. The clouds, the gra**, the air [Annabelle] Heaven is a wonderful place [Charlie] Yeah. No surprises, huh? Say, would you like to dance? You mean if I'm waiting for an inside straight up here, I'd know in advance whether I filled it? [Annabelle] We know how it all turns out [Charlie] You must've studied dancing. You have natural rhythm. Unusual, for a whippet [Annabelle] Oh! I'm getting dizzy! [Charlie] Everything is so lovely here. So planned, so ordered... and that's what driving me crazy [sung] [Charlie] I need Brazil The throb, the thrill I've never been there, but someday I will! Adventure and danger, love from a stranger Let me be surprised! (La de da de da bom ba bom) (Ha ha!) Today there's sun They said there'd be snow When all's said and done It's fun not to know! What keeps my heart humming Is guessing what's coming Let me be surprised! Oh! Ain't it great [Annabele] Ain't it great? [Charlie] When fate makes you wait? [Annabelle] La la la la la la la la! [Charlie] The world seems mirthless You feel worthless Then suddenly There's a big bone on your plate! [Annabelle] Oh, Charlie, please remember Down there's a world of used cars And singles' bars Broken dreams And out-of-reach stars! [Charlie] But, it isn't over Not for this rover I don't like to steal Ha ha! But I don't buy this deal [Annabelle] La la la! [Charlie] In 'bout 3 seconds, she'll have realized Ha ha! And she's gonna be... [spoken] [Annabelle] Charlie, what are you doing? [sung] [Charlie] Wait'll you see! [spoken] [Annabelle] What's that you have behind your back? [sung] [Charlie] She's gonna be... [spoken] [Annabelle] Charlie, don't wind that watch! [sung] [Charlie] Surprised! [spoken] [Annabelle] CHARLIE!
