The Surrey With The Fringe On Top

The Surrey With The Fringe On Top - Various Artists

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

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 y' can roll right down

In case there's a change in the weather

Two bright sidelight's winkin' and blinkin'

Ain't no finer rig I'm a-thinkin'

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 I take you out in the surrey

When I take you 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 ud never stop

In that shiny little surrey with the fringe on the top
