F# / Em / E / F
Now, that
Took me by surprise
How about you?
Wow! That
Took me by surprise
Impromptu
I get
A new pair of shoes
Probably
The ones you lose
But, they
Sure help
This dancing muse
All those
Lights are flashing
A K-9 unit, too?
That blows
The crowd dashing
To get out of view
The truck
Pulling out
The truck
Gets stuck
In the mud
The jerk offs
Pulling their pud
Wanna be called
Office-sir
While life
Goes by
In a blur
ABOUT THIS SONG
It was my birthday. Because of prior obligations, I did not think I would be free. At the last minute, the situation changed. So, we had a surprise party. As it was Halloween, we took are party on the road and ended up at another costume party.
It was raining hard. Cars got stuck in the mud. A friend of mine was dressed up like an Asian Santa Clause. The mud was so deep she took off her shoes and handed them to me. While I was walking around holding them, a caravan of police vehicles arrived. The crowd scattered.
The next day on FaceBook I wrote:
Now THAT was a surprise party… not sure who was surprised more… me or you?
And, the friend wrote:
Where the heck did you go last night!? haha i was hiding in the car from the cops for an hour and then you were gone :o( buuuut it was fun glad you came out and hope you had an awesome birthday.. ps do you have asian santas shoes? lol
To which I replied:
Ha… I thought the shoes were my birthday present from Santa? By the way, you inspired a new song.
