Come here, little ones, and gather around,
For a story of surprises that I have found.
Sometimes life can be dull and gray,
But a surprise can brighten up your day.

Do you remember the feeling you get,
When you see something you didn't expect?
It makes your heart beat fast and your eyes wide,
A surprise is a feeling you cannot hide.

Downtown is a place where surprises abound,
With music and laughter and people all around.
The streets are alive with things to see and do,
And the surprise of the day might be waiting for you.

So move your feet and come with me,
We'll explore downtown and see what we'll see.
And maybe, just maybe, a surprise will be there,
A memory to treasure and a smile to share.
