Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Chop the nuts
Pound the dough
Bake it up
Nice and slow
Then you got a Toledo
Toledo Surprise
[Verse 2]
Now sell it
Pit the peach
Peel the skin
Mush it up
Throw it in
That's a tasty Toledo
Toledo Surprise
[Verse 3]
First you beat it up
Then you sweet it up
When you heat it up
If it tries to rise
Don't let it
It's a snap
Try it folks
Whip your whites
Split your yokes
Then you got a splendedo
Toledo Surprise
[Verse 4]
You boys are naturals, keep it up
5 6 7 8
Mr. Feldzieg, ooh what's going on here?
Kitty, I'm developing a new act
Toledo Surprise
[Verse 5]
You're putting gangsters in the show and you won't put me in it?
They're not even in the Union!
[Verse 6]
You got it all wrong, the new act, it's for you, Kitty
And these boys are your backup dancers
Back up dancers? Holy cats!
[Verse 7]
What the hot toledo
Does to my libido
Good? Yes indeedo
Sugary yum yum

[Verse 8]
Squeeze the cream
Grease the pan
Lick the spoon
Flip the flan
Makes you bust your tuxedo
Toledo Surprise

What is all this commotion about?
[Verse 19]
The wedding, madam

[Verse 21]
I'm afraid it's been called off
[Verse 22]
Oh, how terrible
[Verse 23]
Yes, what a tragedy, what a wonderful, wonderful tragedy
Clear the floor boys, I'll show you how it's done
[Verse 24]
First you beat it up
Then you sweet it up
When you heat it up
If it tries to rise
Don't let it
