Surry with the Fringe on Top

Chicks and ducks and geese better scurry

When you take me out in your surrey

When you take me out in your surrey

With the fringe on top

Watch that fringe and see how it flutters

When you drive them high-steppin' strutters

Nosey folks will peek through their shutters

And their eyes will pop

The wheels are yellow, the upholstery's brown

The dashboard is genuine leather

With isinglass curtains you can roll right down

In case there's a change in the weather

Two bright sidelights winkin' and a-blinkin'

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

You can keep your rig if you're thinkin' that I'd care to swap

For that cute, brown, cozy, sexy surrey with the fringe on top

All the world will fly in a flurry

When you take me out in that 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 will dance in the heather

Birds and frogs will sing all together

And the toads will hop

The wind will whistle as we rattle along

The cows will moo in the clover

The river will ripple out a whispered song

And whisper it over and over and over and over and over and

Don't you wish this could go on forever?

Gosh, I wish it would go on forever

How I wish it would go on forever and would never stop

In that cute, brown, yellow-wheeled

Leather, sexy surrey with the fringe on top

I can see the stars getting blurry

When you drive me back home in that surrey

Driving slowly home in the surrey with the fringe on top

I can feel the day growing older

I wanna lay my head on your shoulder

Nodding, drooping close to your shoulder 'til it falls, kerplop

The sun is setting on the rim of the hill

The moon is taking a header

And just when I'm a thinkin' all the earth is still

A lark starts singing in the meader

Hush you, bird, can't you see I'm sleepin?

Got myself a dream worth keepin'

Whoa, you team, just keep a-creepin' at a slow clip clop

Don't you hurry in the surrey

We're in no hurry, no siree

So slow down in the surrey with the fringe on top

Slow down
