Idina Menzel – Surprise lyrics
Feat. Lachanze, Jenn Colella, Anthony Rapp, Jason Tam, Tamika Lawrence, Jerry Dixon

Crowd:
Hey, hey, ain't it some surprise?
How the years will slip on past you
How the time just flies
Then behold, you're older, bolder and
Much wiser than before
Ain't that some surprise

Anne:
They're at the door!

Crowd:
Surprise!

Lucas:
If you're not drinking
Then something’s new

Liz:
It’s nothing really
I can't tell you

Lucas:
You're on the wagon
Or else
Oh jeez

Liz:
Keep your voice down
Lucas, please

David:
You haven't told Josh?

Liz:
Don't know what to say

Lucas:
You better think quick then,
He’s minutes away

Liz:
There's too many people
And that's just as well

David:
Um, Josh is a doctor
They can often tell

Liz:
Oh, hell
Hey, um, thanks for the surprise!
Let's go party on therooftop
Underneath the skies

David:
Move in with me. Officially.

Lucas:
It just seems so traditional

David:
Hey, hey, ain't it some surprise?
Babe, you're in a real-life couple
Try that on for size
You can fear it, dear, it’s clear it’s not
About to go away
Ain't that some surprise?

Lucas:
Ain't this some surprise,
It feels okay

David:
Well, hey

Beth:
No more surprises
No men to kiss
I might want children
But not like this
He thinks he loves me
And I know it’s not true
No more surprises
God, what to do?

Elena:
What do you want right now?

Beth:
I want that job.
I want to give it everything I have

Elena:
No more surprises
Your life’s on track

Beth:
I'm moving forward
I won't go back

Elena:
So let your heart win
And let the doubt be gone

Elena & Beth:
No more surprises

Beth:
I'm moving on

Josh:
Liz! So sorry I'm late
I missed the surprise, didn't I?

Liz:
Not entirely
I'm pregnant

Josh:
Wow, wow, that is some surprise

Liz:
Yeah, your teeny-tiny swimmers
They're determined little guys

Josh:
It could be that we should see this through
It might mean that – it might

Liz:
It’s just such a surprise

Josh:
It still feels right

Anne:
I think she told him

Kate:
I think she did. Marry me

Anne:
What?

Kate:
Hey hey ain't it some surprise
After all this time together
I look into your eyes

Kate & Anne:
And I see what we can be if we
Step up and say “I do.”
Ain't it some surprise?

Anne:
I do love you

Kate:
And I love you

Partygoers:
Hey – hey – ain't it some surprise
Hey – hey – ain't it some surprise
Hey – hey – ain't it some
Hey – hey – ain't it some
Hey – hey – ain't it some

Elizabeth (The Rest):
At thirty-nine, ev’rything changes
(Surprise! Surprise!)
I'm older but hardly more wise
(Hey, hey ain't it some surprise)
And just when you think you're on course
(Hey, hey ain't it some surprise)
The sea starts to rise
(Hey, hey ain't it some)
And from clear blue skies
(Hey, hey ain't it some)

Lucas:
Marry me

Josh:
Marry me

Elizabeth:
Surprise!

All:
Surprise!
