“To the surprise of no one…” — I like this phrase a lot.
You think you will learn of someone being surprised, only to have the phrase at the end do a little twist, indicating that no one was in fact surprised.
So the phrase that tells you no one is surprised itself has a mildly surprising finish.
Yes, this is what it’s like inside my brain.

Actual Lyrics
From the back of my neck, oh, oh, oh
What I Sing
Kick the back of my head, oh, oh, oh
Go ahead and spell “weird” as “wierd”.
I forgive you.

I got a lion in my pocket
And baby he is ready to roar
What I Sing
I got a dime in my pocket
And baby it’s ready to roll
