Surrey With The Fringe On Top

Chicks and ducks and geese better scurry

When I take you out in my surrey

When I take you out in my surrey

With the fringe on top

Watch that fringe an' see how it flutters

When I set those high-steppin' strutters

Nosey pokes will peek through their shutters

And their eyes will pop

The wheels are yeller, 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 your rig if you're thinkin'

That I'd care to swap

For that shiny little surrey

With the fringe on the top

The sun is creepin' by the edge of the hill

The moon is takin' a header

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

A lark will wake up in the meader

Hush, you bird, my baby's a sleepin'

Maybe got a dream worth a keepin'

Whoa, you team, and just keep a creepin'

At a slow clip clop

Don't you hurry little surrey

With the fringe on the top
