American Old Time Song Lyrics: 16 It Didnt Surprise Me At All
Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 16
It Didn't Surprise Me at All.
When I heard that an earthquake had shook up the world,
It didn't surprise me at all;
That clown to destruction whole cities were hurled,
It didn't surprise me at all.
When Joshua commanded the sun to stand still,
And Cleveland supported the civil rights' bill;
When Chicago anarchists policemen did kill,
It didn't surprise me at all.
When Russia knocked Out Alexandria's right eye,
It didn't surprise me at all;
When I heard Bismarck's lingers was stuck in the pie,
It didn't surprise me at all.
When the great Czar of Russia he made a stiff kick,
And tried Alexandria to overthrow quick,
And France said she'd try to make Germany sick,
It didn't surprise me at all.
When Beach he beat Hanlan a rowing a nice,
It didn't surprise me at all;
When the Dauntless she gave to old Coronet a chase,
It didn't surprise me at all.
When pretty Victoria Shilling had slid,
And of her dear coach driving husband got rid,
And old Morrissini had captured his kid,
It didn't surprise me at all.
When Gladstone tried Ireland's rights to abridge,
It didn't surprise me at all;
When lunatics jumped from the great Brooklyn bridge,
It didn't, surprise me at all.
When I heard that Chicago don't take a back seat,
And England must send over here for good meat;
When I found out the size of Chicago girls' feet.
It didn't surprise me at all.
