Lyrics

When I take you out tonight with me
Honey, here's the way it's gonna be
You will set behind a team of snow white horses
In the slickest rig you ever see
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
Nosy pokes'll peek through their shutters
And their eyes'll 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 is 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' that I'd care to swap
For the shiny little surrey with the fringe on the top
The sun is swimmin' on the rim of a hill
The moon's takin' a header
Just as I'm thinkin' all the earth is still
A lark'll wake up in the meadow
Hush, you bird, my baby's a-sleepin'
Maybe got a dream worth a-keepin'
Whoa you team, just keep a-creepin' at a slow clip clop
Don't you hurry with the surrey with the fringe on the top
Don't you hurry with the surrey with the fringe on the top
Written by: Oscar Hammerstein II, Richard Rodgers
