"You'd Be Surprised" is a song written by Irving Berlin in 1919 which Eddie Cantor interpolated it into Ziegfeld's Follies of 1919.
Other popular versions in 1920 were by the All-Star Trio and by Irving Kaufman.
[2] The first verse introduces the shy Johnny and the woman Mary who finds him to be an exceptional lover, although apparently no one else ever has.
By the second verse, Mary's talking-up of Johnny has resulted in him now being very popular with the ladies.
The first chorus mentions the Morris Chair, made popular in America by furniture maker Gustav Stickley.
