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 folks'll peek through their shutters and their eyes will pop

The wheels are yellow, the upholstery's brown

The dashboard's genuine leather

Eyes and glass 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

I can see the stars gettin' blurry

When we drive back home in the surrey

Drivin' slowly home in the surrey with the fringe on top

I can feel the day gettin' older

Feel a sleepy head on my shoulder

Noddin', droopin'

Close to my shoulder 'til it falls kerplop

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 meadow

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

Maybe got a dream worth a-keepin'

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

Don't you hurry little surrey with the fringe on the top
