You'd Be Surprised

He's not so good in a crowd

But when you get him alone

You'd be surpised

He isn't much at a dance

But then when he takes you home

You'd be surpised

He doesn't look like much of a lover

Don't judge a book by its cover

He's got the face of an angel

But there's a devil in his eyes

He's such a delicate thing

But when he starts into squeeze

You'd be surprised

He doesn't look very strong

But when you sit on his knee

You'd be surprised

At a party or at a ball

I've got to admit

He's nothing at all

But in a modest chair

You'd be surprised

He doesn't look like much of a lover

Don't judge a book by its cover

'cause he's got the face of an angel

But there's a devil in his eyes

He doesn't say very much

But when he starts into speak

You'd be surprised

He's not so good at the start

But at the end of the week

You would be surprised

On a streetcar or in a train

You'd think he was born

Without any brain

But in a taxicab

And when he starts to grab

I said a taxicab

You'd be surprised

This one's a real danger
