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 an' see how it flutters

When I drive them high-steppin' strutters

Nosy pokes'll peek through their shutters and their eyes will pop!

The wheels are yellow, the upholstery's brown

The dashboard's genuine leather

With isinglass curtains you can roll right down

In case there's a change in the weather

Two bright sidelights winkin' and blinkin'

Ain't no finer rig I'm a thinkin'

You can keep yer rig if yer thinkin' that I'd care to swap

Fer that shiny little surrey with the fringe on the top

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-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 go on forever?

Don't you wish you'd go on forever?

Don't you wish you'd go on forever?

And you'd never stop?

In that shiny little surrey

With the fringe on the top
