The Surrey with the Fringe on Top (Bonus Track) - John Raitt/Richard Rodgers/Oscar Hammerstein II

Written by：Richard Rodgers/Oscar Hammerstein II

When I take you out tonight with me

Honey here's the way it's goin' to be

You was set behind a team of snow white horses

In the slickest gig you ever see

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 folks'll 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 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

I can see the stars gettin' blurry

When we ride back home in the surrey

Ridin' slowly home in

The surrey with the fringe on top

I can feel the day gettin' older

Feel a sleepy head near my shoulder

Noddin' droopin' close to my shoulder

Till it falls kerplop

The sun is swimmin' on the rim of a hill

The moon is takin' a header

And jist as thinkin' all the earth is still

A lark'll wake up in the medder

Hush you bird my baby's a sleepin'

Maybe got a dream worth a keepin'

Whoa you team and jist

Keep a creepin' at a slow clip clop

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