You wouldn't know it but I'm at my best I've got a little surprise up my sleeve I've got a little surprise up my sleeve I've got a little surprise up my sleeve D-figure -Figure Shake open the pages, the yellowed slips of paper, Flattened coffee stirrers, in the book on the table, A ticket from the metro in Milan, A letter from Simon in Prospect Park, Brooklyn, One cigarette paper, torn magazine cover, One leaflet for Jesus and one Hare Krishna All fall out onto the table Who are you to tell me that I look depressed? You wouldn't know it but I'm at my best I've got a little surprise up my sleeve I've got a little surprise up my sleeve I've got a little surprise up my sleeve
