The Surrey with the Fringe on Top

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've ever seen

Chicks and geese and ducks 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 will peek through their shutters

And their eyes'll 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 top

The sun is swimmin' on the rim of the hill

The moon is takin' a header

And just as I'm thinkin' all the Earth is still

A lark'll wake up in the meader

Hush, you bird, my baby's 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 top
