There's one thing that happens
me and you,
when we have something special to do,
Er' seems like something happens
fore we get through
Unexpectedly.
On a married lady
once I called
her husband came
he was six foot tall
I had to take window sash and all
Unexpectedly.

There is lots of meaning
in that one little word
Unexpectedly.
Now hootch is another one
that's not often heard
Unexpectedly.
I used drink gin
sup by sup then
I learned to drink it
cup by cup here
prohibition came along
messed ev'rything up
Unexpectedly

I found out the meaning
of that one little word
Unexpectedly
It seems like I alway do
the bad for good
Unexpectedly
He said if I'd taken a
ham or a goose he
might have found some way
to let me loose
but for two pork chops
let you free
no take him throw away the key
Unexpectedly.

I got some work
in a swell café
and took some fresh meat every day
the boss got wise to me
in some kind of way
Unexpectedly.
Next morn' Judge say what've you to say
The Boss caught you with chops in your hat
I said "Not Guilty" he said
"Six months for that"
Unexpectedly.

There is lots of meaning
in that one little word
Unexpectedly.
Now hootch is another one
that's not often heard
Unexpectedly.
I used drink gin
sup by sup then
I learned to drink it
cup by cup here
prohibition came along
messed ev'rything up
Unexpectedly

I found out the meaning
of that one little word
Unexpectedly
It seems like I alway do
the bad for good
Unexpectedly
He said if I'd taken a
ham or a goose he
might have found some way
to let me loose
but for two pork chops
let you free
no take him throw away the key
Unexpectedly.
