The Surrey with the Fringe on Top
Chicks and ducks and geese better scurry
When you take me out in the surrey
When you take me out in the surrey with the fringe on top
Watch that fringe and see how it flutters
When you 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 can keep your rig if you're thinkin' I'd a care to swap
For that shiny, little surrey with the fringe on the top
All the world'll fly in a flurry
When you take me out in the surrey
When you take me out in the surrey with the fringe on top
When we hit that road, hell for 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 wish you'd can go on forever?
Don't you wish you'd can go on forever?
Don't you wish you'd go on forever and it'd never stop
In that shiny, little surrey with the fringe
In that shiny, little surrey with the fringe
In that shiny, little surrey with the fringe on the top
When you take me out in the surrey
When you take me out in the surrey with the fringe on top
Watch that fringe and see how it flutters
When you 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 can keep your rig if you're thinkin' I'd a care to swap
For that shiny, little surrey with the fringe on the top
All the world'll fly in a flurry
When you take me out in the surrey
When you take me out in the surrey with the fringe on top
When we hit that road, hell for 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 wish you'd can go on forever?
Don't you wish you'd can go on forever?
Don't you wish you'd go on forever and it'd never stop
In that shiny, little surrey with the fringe
In that shiny, little surrey with the fringe
In that shiny, little surrey with the fringe on the top
