[Verse 1] Johnny was bashful and shy Nobody understood why, Mary loved him, All the other girls passed him by. Ev’ry one wanted to know How she could pick such a beau. With a twinkle in her eye. She made this reply. [Chorus 1] He’s not so good in a crowd but when you get him alone You’d be surprised, He isn’t much at a dance But when he takes you home You’d be surprised He doesn’t look like much of a lover, but don’t judge a book by it’s 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 starts in to 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 go to admit he’s nothing at all but in a morris chair, You’d be surprised. [Verse 2] 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 ev’ry other day. A new girl will say. [Chorus 2] He’s not so good in the house but on a bench in the park You’d be surprised, He isn’t much in the light but when he gets in the dark You’d be surprised I know he looks as slow as the Erie But you don’t know the half of it dearie He looks as cold as an Eskimo But there’s a fire in his eyes He doesn’t say very much but when he starts in to speak You’d be surprised, He’s not so good at the start but at the end of a week You’d be surprised On a streetcar or in a train You’ think he was born without any brain, but in a taxi cab, You’d be surprised
