The Surrey With The Fringe On Top

The Surrey With The Fringe On Top - Doris Day

Written by：Richard Rodgers/Oscar Hammerstein II

Chicks and ducks and geese better scurry

When you take me out in the surrey

When you take me out in the surrey with the fringe on top

Watch that fringe and see how it flutters

When you drive them high steppin' strutters

Nosey pokes'll peek thru' 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 sidelight's winkin' and blinking

Ain't no finer rig I'm a thinking

You c'n keep your rig if you're thinkin' 'at I'd keer to swap

Fer that shiny little surrey with the fringe on the top

All the world'll fly in a flurry

When you take me out in the surrey

When you take me out in the surrey with the fringe on top

When we hit that road hell fer leather

Cats and dogs'll dance in the heather

Birds and frogs'll sing all together and the toads will hop

The wind'll whistle as we rattle along

The cows'll moo in the clover

The river will ripple out a whispered song

And whisper it over and over

Don't you wisht y'd go on forever

Don't you wisht y'd go on forever

Don't you wisht y'd go on forever and never stop

In that shiny little surrey with the fringe

In that shiny little surrey with the fringe

In that shiny little surrey with the fringe on the top
