Lyrics
Chop the nuts
Pound the dough
Bake it up
Nice and slow
Then you got a Toledo
Toledo Surprise
...
Now sing it!
...
Pit the peach
Peel the skin
Mush it up
Throw it in
That's a tasty Toledo
Toledo Surprise
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 yolks
Then you got a Toledo
Toledo Surprise
You boys are naturals. Keep it up 5-6-7-8
...
Mr. Feldzeig? OOOh, what's going on here?
Ah, Kitty! I'm developing a new act.
Toledo Surprise
You're putting gangsters in the act and you won't put me in it? They're not even in the union.

Lick the spoon

First you beat it up

When you heat it up
If it tries to rise
