The Surrey With The Fringe On Top

Chicks and ducks and geese better scurry
When I take you out in the surrey
When I take you out in the surrey
With the fringe on top!
Watch that fringe and see how it flutters
When I drive them high steppin' strutters
Nosey pokes'll peek thru' their shutters and their eyes will pop!

The wheels are yeller the upholstery's brown
The dashboard's genuine leather
With isinglass curtains y' can roll right down
In case there's a change in the weather
Two bright sidelight's winkin' and blinkin'
Ain't no finer rig I'm a-thinkin'
You c'n keep your rig if you're thinkin' 'at I'd keer to swap
Fer that shiny little surrey with the fringe on the top!

When I take you out tonight with me
Honey here's the way it's gotta be
You will sit behind a team of snow white horses
In the slickest rig you've ever seen.

All the world'll fly in a flurry
When I take you out in the surrey
When I take you out in the surrey with the fringe on top!
When we hit that road hell fer leather
Cats and dogs'll dance in the heather
Birds and frogs'll sing all together and the toads will hop!

The wind'll whistle as we rattle along
The cows'll moo in the clover
The river will ripple out a whispered song
And whisper it over and over:
Don't you wisht y'd go on forever?
Don't you wisht y'd go on forever?
Don't you wisht y'd go on forever and ud never stop
In that shiny little surrey with the fringe on the top!
